There's a famous roomful of laughs session from a DECUS Symposium.
For those who don't remember, in the Q&A part you'd step up to the
microphone and state your name, company affiliation, and ask your
question.

Someone steps up and does all of that. The DEC answer was something
along the line of "you should be using X instead because of the power 
savings alone". The person says "Perhaps you didn't hear my company
affiliation - Hydro Quebec". Room bursts out in laughter. DEC employee
looks embarrassed.
