The Archetypal Dumb Secretary Story
On the occasion of a previous postage rate hike, a friend told me how his large office dealt with the problem of a desk drawer filled with the lower denomination stamps. The office secretary took it upon herself to throw away several thousand of what she thought were obsolete stamps.
It did not occur to her that they could have bought a corresponding quantity of two or three cent stamps to make up the difference in the new rate.
