Thanks wow, I have appended your son's list to mine.
Another such example, that I know is true, occurred when a friend of mine was on shift at the Newfoundland Weather Centre some years back.
There a relatively new meteorologist who was still in his 2.5 year probationary period noticed the grizzled old shift supervisor busily doing paperwork during a lull in the action. He inquired as to what he was doing. The supervisor responded, "I am doing appraisals. In fact, I'm doing yours right now."
"Can I see it?"
"No. They are confidential until they have been formally approved."
"Ok."
A few minutes later, the supervisor looks up and asks one of the senior met.'s on shift, "Is screw-up hyphenated?"
