Ah, foreign objects in floppy drives. Gotta love it.

Tried to insert Troubleshooter floppy. Stuck. Pulled floppy out. A playing card came out with it. Sighed. Removed playing card. Tried to insert floppy again. Still stuck. Pulled out. Peered into drive with flashlight. Found second playing card. Sighed. Removed playing card. Tried to insert floppy yet again. Still stuck. Sighed. Removed floppy drive. Heard ominous rattle. Upended floppy drive with door held open. Some pocket change falls out. Deep sigh. Try to insert floppy again. Guess what! Still stuck! Directed several four-letter words at floppy drive, at rest of shitty computer, and at small child that undoubtedly stuck all this crap in there. Dissected floppy drive. Removed several more pennies and the metal thing from a floppy disk from drive. Reassembled drive. Floppy goes in and out as advertised. Hooked drive up. Lo and behold, drive worked.

Not as good as the Tweety Bird keychain I found that one time, but still amusing for a while.
