Jabba must have been on fine form the past few days. He contributed the following story as a comment, but I just have to promote it to article status:
Does anyone know how to perform an exorcism. I was wondering what would happen if we try to perform an exorcism on some of the engineers in the office. It’d be a good movie to make…
Here’s a possible dialog-
Exorcist: “I command you, leave this body.”
Possessed Engineer: “Sorry sir, it’s after 5pm, come back tomorrow.”
Exorcist: “I command you, leave this body.”
Possessed Engineer: “Sorry, need to wait for the datasheet from the Process Department before we can do anything.”
Exorcist: “I command you, leave this body, you Spawn of Satan.”
Possessed Engineer: “Don’t know how, it is not in the PETRONAS Technical Standards.”
Exorcist: “I command you, leave this body.”
Possessed Engineer: “Not part of deliverables.”
This could go on forever, until you give in and accept every piece of crap the possessed engineer throws at you.
Definitely going into the ‘Anecdotes of the Engineer.’
