I was working in a factory once...
...during some buyout of the company by an American firm, and they decided to do us a little presentation about how they weren't going to shut down our plant, honest.

The American CEO was telling us all about his plans for our company, stating that his company prefers some uniformity in the way its plants are run. A guy at the back, who had the nickname Bubbles, raised his hand and said 'Does that mean we're all gonna get new overalls then?'

To his credit, the CEO didn't equate the question to that of a complete 'tard as I and some others did, but I heard the new firm shut the place down six months later - coincidence?
