How is it nobody expected the H&S guy's method of dispatch to be a window?

BOFH: The trouble with, er, windows installs

Normalize the company into oblivion, shall we?

BOFH: But soft, what light through yonder window breaks?

Didn't they just get a rubbish bin outside the Boss' office - full of sharp broken glass to make a "point"

Ans: Verizon!! (you thought this was gonna be "Yahoo" didnt you :P
