At Tinker AFB the guys at the engineering test lab decided that they needed to have some nails handy for various projects. So they ordered 10 lb through the Air Force supply system. So a few days later 3 lb of nails came. Then 3 lb the day after that, followed by 4 lb a few days later. Okay so their 10 lb of nails had been delivered. But a couple of days later another 4 lb of nails showed up, and another 3 lb the day after that, and so on, until one day a truck pulled up and unloaded something like 3 tons of nails.Seems the customer wanted 5 parts, not 50.
