There was a situation at the Hasbro headquarters recently. They had a supply shortage of the right kind of flour for their Play-Doh product. So they called in their top R&D scientists to find a solution. They had a number of ideas. Derek suggested sand - too coarse. Mary suggested chalk - not absorbent enough. Philip suggested other plant products. Brilliant! So they examined other plants to see what would make the perfect flour. Carrots were okay. Potatoes had potential. But the humble sweet pea seemed to have all the right properties. Philip, being the one who thought of it, got to take it to the Hasbro board of directors. He gave a really passionate speech supporting the reformulation and even a suitable renaming, sure that it could work as a viable flour substitute. Eventually, one of the directors said 'Wow, that Pea-Doh Phil has a lot of convictions.'
The minutes of the meeting got leaked and Philip is now suing the company for libel and emotional distress.
