"One employee, Rhias, wore an impressive variety of black corsets to work every day and kept a mummified dead cat nailed to the wall of her apartment. Her manager, Steve, had a wicker basket on his desk. When subordinates came to ask him something, he would act out lines from "The Silence of the Lambs": "It puts the lotion in the basket! It does this whenever it is told!" Until you put a bottle of hand lotion in the basket, he would not answer your question. "
