Funny Internship stories?

A few years ago in my internship at a F500 corp finance company, (very high strung) I worked with an interesting group of people. Each month we would get our AUM numbers in for our boutiques on B-day 4 and would have to send our variance analysis and stock comp forecasting updates for actual vs forecasted up to the Senior Analyst->MD->CFO by B day 7 for our board reporting. One month, however, my old brick ass of a computer they gave me (10 year old dell fully depreciated) kept going in and out. I kept taking it to IT and they kept saying they needed to reimage it, over and over and give me a loaner. After keeping my boss in the loop on the progression, and the 4th time of this happening, my boss takes my computer, turns, and frisbees that brick bitch across the room (making another intern duck to avoid getting permanent involuntary facial reconstruction) prior to stomping on it and throwing it down. After this display, he hands it to me and says "tell those fuck sticks you dropped it and get your ass back to work" After that I worked straight through the night into the next day to get my work done, partly out of being hardworking and partly out of fear of becoming that laptop. (p.s he was a director, and about 5'5 of full blown rage, definitely not testosterone) What are your funny stories?
