It seems that whenever we buy thousands of dollars worth of computer equipment, at work, the company sends us swag. Penguin Computing was the best - each server comes with a little stuffed penguin. They also sent mousepads (is there some part of the world where people still use those??) and t-shirts.

More recently we got a bunch of AMD stuff. No stuffed penguins, just totally ridiculous things, like a pair of binoculars with an AMD logo on its carrying pouch. Perhaps so we can spy on people in the building next door? Oh, and a couple of business casual polo shirts. (For context, our official dress code here is "Nothing illegal." This means that, thanks to NY state law, I could come to work in a pair of underpants and nothing else. Shirts are totally unnecessary.

And the shirts are always in a size that fits nobody, like a Large. (we only have small, medium, and extra-large bioinformaticists). So I was thinking..

You could cut a square out of each shirt, making sure that the square contains the logo. Sew them together into a cube, and stuff. Then, whenver you have a computer problem, roll the cube! Whoever's logo comes up is the company to blame. The more ill-fitting T-shirts they send, the more likely it'll be their fault.
