I had a consultant friend in the 80s who was situated in a particularly 
dreadful are of the client's site- right in the middle of the shipping 
department. The shipping person used to get a big kick out of dropping 
large boxes on the workbench, right next to my friend and the company's 
sole server.

When he was inevitably let go so the boss' son-in-law could put his AA 
degree to good use, and when the company failed to pay his fees for the 
last six weeks of his term, he sent the client a plain brown paper box 
containing 60 pounds of neodymium magnets which, he later learned, were 
of course dropped by the friendly shipping guy less than six inches 
away from the server. He claimed much hilarity ensued.

Regards,
