I need a weird bug hotline (tail of https://m.xkcd.com/2633/ ). Here goes. Intern: "Hi, Weird Bug Hotline. Is it currently biting you?" Callee: "Omigod, I am so happy you picked up. My code raised a corrupt exception, and when the exception handler caught it my mouse came alive and wrapped itself around my neck, it grabs my arms when I try to unplug it, I can't escape, I don't know what to do !" Intern: "Stay calm. You're still planning on storing a core dump of the corrupt exception, aren't you?" Callee: "Is that bad?" Intern: "Calm down, don't think about your core dump, don't think about how the exception handler doesn't have any access to the USB hub the mouse is connected to, just imagine everything is normal.

You saved me!"
