  A former coworker of mine (Andy) was challenged to a fight after tearing
into a network administrator for screwing up a machine and then blaming
the coworker. (Here's a hint. A computer can't run a program on the server
if it can't fight the server.) Andy was a weightlifter and the admin. had
an executive physique. While they didn't fight, the look on Andy's face
was priceless. Andy soon left after getting a better job offer. The admin
was also offered the chance to pursue other employment.
