In a night shift NOC job-
For a High St Bank (remember those?) with 'branches' in parts of Africa, way out in what we might consider The middle of Nowhere, I used to deal with a very laid back chap, whose very name escapes me.
He used to roam about the localities,, tending to the remote branches that were served with a VSAT (tiny dish) satellite connection back to HQ via Goonhilly. on the low roof of the buildings.
Anyway, his favorite outage tale concerned a branch that had gone down, so he jumped in his 4x4 and set off, only to discover the dish had been eaten by a giraffe...
