Happened to another engineer: Bought tons of 5% capacitors for 
production, went into Hilbert shifters. They always hand-picked the 1% 
parts out of this lot and used the rest for jelly-bean stuffing. One

the middle of the Gaussian tolerance curve. Obviously someone had 
detected a business opprotunity ... whoops.
