Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Knock yourself out.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Is it silly of me to think that the IT support team members, after being told by another member of the team "perkins is having problem X; she has already rebooted several times, and she is still having problem X," might have something more productive to say then "Reboot. That will make it work"?
I mean, obviously it is silly for ME to think it, since that's exactly what happened, but would it still be silly for those not in Bizarro IT world?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
These koans, or parables, were translated into English from a book called the Shaseki-shu (Collection of Stone and Sand), written late in the thirteenth century by the Japanese Zen teacher Muju (the "non-dweller"), and from anecdotes of Zen monks taken from various books published in Japan around the turn of the 20th century.
This one cracked me up:
Ikkyu, the Zen master, was very clever even as a boy. His teacher had a precious teacup, a rare antique. Ikkyu happened to break this cup and was greatly perplexed. Hearing the footsteps of his teacher, he held the pieces of the cup behind him. When the master appeared, Ikkyu asked: "Why do people have to die?"
"This is natural," explained the older man. "Everything has to die and has just so long to live."
Ikkyu, producing the shattered cup, added: "It was time for your cup to die."

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
One of the lawyers in Angel's Life of the Party is Dr. Jack Hodgins on Bones. I recall liking his delivery / presence when I first saw this episode. Huh.
