This time from:
Tim Quirk of Too Much Joy
http://www.toomuchjoy.com/?p=1397

Quote:
Back in 1992, when TMJ was still a going concern and even the label thought maybe we’d join the hallowed company of recouped bands one day, Warner made a $10,000 accounting error on our statement (in their favor, naturally). When I caught this mistake, and brought it to the attention of someone with the power to correct it, he wasn’t just befuddled by my anger – he laughed at it. “$10,000 is nothing!” he chuckled.


A pretty good read.

Hey Flying Rabbit, I was just watching the movie where your sig came from today (for the first time). I'm about 1/2 way through, and I'm not sure whether to laugh at the guy or feel sorry for him, or both.

Its a great little film, but yeah, who knows whether the guy is a put-on actor, or whether that's his real life. There are reports pointing both ways. Definitely squirm-worthy at several points.
