How about a joint autograph from both the protagonist—Trey Harris, and the antagonist—the consultant to the Stats department :) ?

Yes. Seriously... I’m willing to pay for the shipping and everything. I’ve told this story countless times to people over the years. This and the “OpenOffice can’t print on Tuesday” bug are two of my favourite troubleshooting stories.

I would also be ready to pay for a signed copy of this story. I’d frame it up in the office :)
