Years ago when I worked for a software company based in Chicago, we pinched an exec VP away from Tesco, one of our clients. (Not good form to hire employees away from your clients but the owner of my company didn't care much about little niceties like that). His first day in Chicago, Barry came out of his office and asked the secretaries in the area if any of them had a rubber. They were in stitches for days.
