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. ????<br>
<br>
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.<br>

3...2...1...<br>
<br>
Marketing screams, "We can't use that in trade show, it looks
terrible!" Good work Cliff, job well done.<br>
<br>
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.<br>
