“I … ah … The company’s planning a mid-year Christmas hamper for all staff with each division head responsible for sorting something from their area. The Design people have created tee-shirts with all the company logos from the past ten years, the PR people have sourced a picnic blanket with the current company logo, Finance have organized an elephant money box with the company logo on it, and I’m just trying to think of something that would really complement it.”

“Hmmm … a box of matches and a tin of petrol?” I suggest.

BOFH still cracks me up even in 2023.
