I recently went to a meeting with a company. I am one of this company's clients. They started off, before the meeting, by showing me around their offices. The offices were very impressive and even had giant fish tanks.

The fish piqued my interest and so the guy who was showing me around stopped to talk about it. He mentioned that these were salt water fish. And then, as though it were the most natural thing in the world, he mentioned that he used to have fish when he was a kid. But that after a few months he had got bored with them and had taken a pair of garden shears and had chopped them all up. He then went on to explain that his parents thought that this might mean he was crazy but that he didn't think he was crazy he was just bored. I subtly changed the subject and we moved on.

Just before I left they gave me a free can of coke.

A can of coke and a psychopath. It doesn't get much better than that.
