[SML] work/supply box expendables

[Jerry Durand]

My father used an ugly brownish color.

At one company my assistant Cliff and I made up a special test box that 
would run our product through heavy use.  It wasn't long before the 
production guys asked me where the box was.  ????

It turns out Marketing had taken it to demo the product at a trade 
show.  When they got back I instructed Cliff to "make it ugly". Orange 
lightning bolt and random bits cut out of case.

3...2...1...

Marketing screams, "We can't use that in trade show, it looks 
terrible!"  Good work Cliff, job well done.

Marketing had to pay Cliff to build one for them in his off-hours.  Now 
they were happy, Cliff had some extra money, and production could 
continue to ship product to customers.
