 I admired the notice that a friend working elsewhere had by his desk, 
roughly from memory (� = UKP) 

"In order to assist our user community with their forward financial 
planning, we have implemented the following scale of charges for 
your convenience.  

Answers       (each)  50p 
Answers (correct) (each) �12 
Instructions to RTFM     �1.50 
Blaming another dept     �2.50 
Listening to vague rambling whine   �25.00 plus 50p per sympathetic noise
.
.
...etc.... 

Keeping a straight face - plus 10% 

Dumb looks are of course still free
