I love salesmen.  One came to my old employer trying to sell us a stock 
control program.  When I was using it in his demo it misbehaved.  He 
said "Oh that's a feature".  I commented "Isn't a feature what 
programmers call a bug they couldn't get rid of?"  Knowing full well it 
IS! ;)  My boss who was sat next to me looked up.

I think I'm off the salesman's Christmas card list ;)

Cheers,

Julian
