Expensive Mistakes
coopsweb asks "What's the most expensive mistake you've ever made? Should I mention a certain employee who caused 4 hours worth of delays in Central London and got his company fined £500k?"
No points for stories about the time you had a few and thought it'd be a good idea to wrap your car around a bollard. Or replies consisting of "my wife".

off topic, but
It was a really quiet afternoon in our office until just now, when our head of accounts was heard to bellow
"NO! IT SMELLS LIKE MEAT!"
Now it's even quieter... should I be worried?

So share some gossip!
I heard tell that during the making of the final scene of Enter The Dragon, with the room full of mirrors, they problems shooting that scene, because Bruce Lee's reflection wasn't visible in the mirrors. The reason? Even his REFLECTION was too scared to meet his steely Shaolin gaze.
THE TRUTH: there were no mirrors, he just ran at 72frames per second pausing at each spot for one frame.

Oh, and speaking of Bruce-
Bruce Lee, for all his many strengths, was not very expressive in English. And why should he be? He didn't leave Hong Kong for the US until he was 21 and had no formal schooling.
He did sometimes mangle his verb tenses and screw up his subject-object agreements. Once, in 1967, the milkman left two cartons of skimmed milk and a pint of cottage cheese when Bruce had specifically told him FULL milk and NO cheese. Bruce immediately sat down and wrote him a long, anrgy note. Chuck Norris had a quick glance at it and though he knew it was gibberish he didn't say anything when Bruce left it on the doormat.
Well, it so happened that milkman was Allan Ginsberg who took the note and, without changing a word, published it as his poem 'Howl', perhaps the most famous verse of the Beat Generation. Later Bruce stuffed a whole Aberdeen Angus cow wearing samurai armor up Ginsberg's arse 'for plagiarism'.
