I once left a message on the office girls desk that a 'Mr Jayniss' had phoned for her and could she urgently phone him back. Phone (I put the numbr for TWL, Transport Wholesale Ltd, who I knew would have a sence of humour) and ask for 'Hugh'. She rang and asked, then told me 'the joke's on you, they don't even have anyone calld Hugh!'. I work with a young lad now, I think I'll try that again tomorrow.

When working for a vehicle transporting firm we arranged for the ops manager to orginise pick up of an old battered escourt. Lol, we gave him the number of the local knockshop as the contact. Worked a treat

One of our customers sent their apprentice around to our transformer factory get a quote for a DC transformer. Our electrical engineer somehow desgned a suitable transformer using supercooled niobium strip. That and the supercooling refrigeration system would cost tens of thousands of dollars. We got an urgent call from the customer saying not to make it!
