Your Daily Cup of WTF - Because New() Fails Way Too Much

First and foremost, thanks for the WTF submissions! Please keep 'em coming. They don't have to be code snippets or diagrams, just something technical-related that made you say or think What the F--! And now that I think about it, I'd love to see some crazy Boss Emails and Memos. I had a trove of them saved from the last company I was at, but lost them all. So let's see yours! Just use the Contact Form, and feel free to include a website to link back to.
