I think my Internet tubes are clogged
It's kinda slow. What works best to clean them out. I'm thinking a wire brush?

1. Prune juice and a bran muffin have always worked very well for me.

2. That didn't seem to help
I shoved a muffin in the CD-ROM and pumped some juice into the circuitry. It's not any faster and it's real sticky and making some strange noises.


Oh, look! Smoke! :wow:

3. Try giving the hamsters a bath...
they slip through the tubes so much easier when they're clean.

:P

5. Aw, crap
I tried this but when I aimed the blow dryer at them, they flew across the room and now the cat has them trapped under the sofa.

I'm just no good with technology. :banghead:

7. Well, there's your problem right there...
It's the cats. They've compromised the mouse. You're going to need to get to its balls and see if rubbing them helps.

4. You need to disconnect the cable (or phone line)
and blow sharply into the end of it.

If that doesn't work, direct a high-pressure stream of water into the fan vent on your computer (be sure to keep it plugged in and turned on when you do this)...

:)

6. That's a good idea
Maybe it will clean up the mess the bran muffin and the prune juice left. x(
