This anecdote is an amazingly good story for telling at the pub over a few beers. It's a terrible story for a strategy.
If this is a mountain, my molehill is that one night in the late 90s, I got paged cause the SMTP outbound server was overheating. At midnight I drive across sleepy NH backroads, and stopped at a Wendys to get a chicken sandwich and iced tea, for the caffeine.
When I got to the server room, I pulled the 2U Dell server out of the rack and discovered the CPU cooling fan had seized up. Mind you, this is a New Hampshire data center in 1999, and it has a filing cabinet with manilla folders, and carpeted floors. This thing was never prepared for any disasters.
A half hour later, the SMTP server was up and running cool again.
I greased the fan with the mayonnaise from my sandwich.
