I used to work in an industry where quotes like this were common (Telecom)... with a boss would say stuff like this and I would tweet his quotes out regularly... then I found out my boss was reading my tweets when he accidentally hit the "Follow" button on me... Needless to say that was not a pretty day in the office.
It didn't help that he bared a striking resemblance to the Pointy-Haired Boss either.
