techrecoveryVP: "We want you to price out a new exchange server for us."
Samwize: "Ok. What kind of load are we expecting?"
VP: "We don't know."
S: "Uh...Ok. Are you going to want it rack mountable or tower?"
VP: "Investigate the '72U' rack system."
(If you don't know rack mounting, this exchange was isomorphic to "Do you want to wear shoes or sandles?" "Hmm. Find out how much size 17 socks cost." A 'U' is a standard unit of height. 72U is a size not a brand.)
*sigh*
