Drowned sorrows
User spills a drink on his keyboard, and pilot fish swaps in a replacement, then calls support. Put it in water to keep it from drying out, and I’ll fix it when I come in, support guy says. “The keyboard was duly placed in a sink in the break room,” says fish. “And to encourage people to leave it there, a sign was stuck over the sink saying, ‘Some people fix their computer bugs – we drown ours.’ And, yes, the keyboard survived.”

Or is it a BUG?"

Thanks for the explanation. The story made sense without knowing details, but they are interesting too.
