Reminds me of a time when I worked for CompuAdd:
Customer called saying he had ordered a laserprinter.  Received
shipment from us, opened box, and instead of said printer, he had a
couple of copies of the Austin phonebook.  I checked it out, and sure
enough the shipping weight wasn't right for laser.  Seems an employee
in shipping decided he wanted a laser printer...

Obviously we finally sent one to customer.
