This really happened today.

Scene: Project meeting, conducted by telephone.

Project Manager: How large is the user file?

Me: Right now it's about 4K, but it will grow as you add users.

PM: How much can you fit in 4K?

ME (trying to make it easy): About 4,000 characters.

PM: No, no, son! I mean how many lower case characters can you fit?

ME (puzzled): About 4,000?

PM: And how many upper case characters?

ME (unable to resist): You can fit about 4,000 lower case characters or 1 upper case character.

PM: See? You need a much larger data file.

ME: Yes, sir.

And you thought this only happened in Dilbert strips!
