When Security Pacific [I don't work there; just use the machine] was about to
take delivery of their new 3B5, there was rejoicing all around.  Delivery was
two months late, and the old machine had about 75% more terminals on it than
it was rated for.  Corporate officers flew down for the grand unveiling.

The vanlines truck arrived, and everyone went out to see it being offloaded.
Whereupon the forklift driver miscalculated, and punched cleanly through the
crate containing the CPU.  His comments:  "Gee, I'm terribly sorry."
