In article <[email protected]>,
[email protected] (John Burnham) was heard to complain that at
least *one* BOFH was going soft on spammers:

Umm... HF. Well, one of our firework crew is an industrial chemist
(and freelance lab tech (and jazzman)). He has a variety of tales
from where he (and I) used to work; *all* of which I believe.
...the guy who ordered an Atlas missile (complete) for a bet. (Nah,
they'll *never* approve *that*... "but it's just a part number..."
(Apparently it went in with a blank description, was passed by the
purchasing department - supplier was a legit code that our VBC had
(defence) dealings with, and was queried several steps further on,
'Are you sure you want the *entire* missile?"... "What? We ordered
500 hose connectors...")
...the technicians who hatched butterflies in the lab cellar (Buy
exotic chrysalises and set up a suitable incubator/hatchery.) Luckily
their Atlas Moth did *not* choose to land on the boss's head when they
were working late and he stuck his head round the door to see how the
project was getting on... (The moth was on the ceiling above him, and
apparently they're attracted to heat sources). 8-)>
...and, to the topic on hand (HF) the foreman who ordered a drum of HF
to clean the grime off the windows. "Well, it dissolves glass, dunnit...
that'll clean the dirt off as well." (Yes, he *was* planning to pour
it into buckets and apply by hand with rag.)
Eek!
Chris.
