LOL, reminds me of some of the things we did at my previous employer. Was
always fun rejecting offers of extended warranties (never mind that retail
warranties often exclude industrial use...) by explaining just how I was going
to modify what ever tool I was buying that day.


Yep, they make a fortune on extended warranties and push them
hard...except when it's obvious the extended warranty will cost them.
