Could work.

There a story (urban legend?) about a Sybase server at a brokerage house in NYC that would not return correct results for an important SQL statement. They'd been working on it for weeks with Sybase.

Then one morning they come in and there's a little note scotch taped to the server. It's from the cleaning lady, and says she is very sorry, that while vacuuming she bumped the server and knocked it over.

They started it up and not only did it work, but from that moment on the same SQL always produced accurate results.

Go figure....
