652 forum posts 33 photos	Posted by Grindstone Cowboy on 01/04/2022 16:53:33: Apparently the customs papers for a chap importing hydraulic rams into Zimbabwe were maked "Livestock" Rob This can be turned to advantage. When Dad was in senior management in Portsmouth Dockyard during the 1960s, the medical centre applied to buy an electro-cardiograph machine, a very expensive thing in those days. It was turned down by the finance department. On being told of this, Dad said to the chief medic (who came under his aegis ) "Hmm... So in effect you are measuring the hardness of men's hearts?" and got the reply " Well, yes, in a way that's true." "Leave it with me," said Dad, and resubmitted the order under the engineering budget as a hardness tester. It went through without question. George
