Default Sacrifice

Yes most chief executive officers seem to be sacrificial. How often have you
heard that the ceo fell on his sword, as he had ultimate responsibility.

I was trying to think of all the sacrificial things. Sacrificial anodes
on ships, yes. But... how about the face of a wooden mallet? Because the
reason it's wood is because steel would be too hard. Because the wood is
softer it's more likely to get damaged. Stretching a point? A wooden
gramophone needle, which wears out quickly but doesn't damage the
shellac? Can anyone think of sacrificial things?

As this threads development shows, there's a distinction to be made
between "consumables" and "sacrificials" ?
