If It Ain't Broke, Don't Fix It

Got a good chuckle out of this - it's not so much that my sense of humor has slowly devolved into slapstick, 5th grade potty humor, but for the life of me, I couldn't figure out what the factory staff really wanted to purchase.

Along with servicing our HP 1320 Printer, the General Service Department requested a budget for "Fixing Ass". I'm not sure whose it was or how it was broken, but I wasn't going to approve 5,840 Baht (nearly $200) to fix it.

Apparently, a "Fixing Ass" or Fixing Ass'y is part of a copier, otherwise known as a Fixing Assembly, and a new one does cost 200 USD. You learn something every day.
