My company sells plasma screens and computers as part of our electronic product.  Occasionally, we will do customer financing for the hardware in-house and roll it into the subscription price.  In these instances, it must be approved by the CFO.  There is usually some level of interchange between the CFO, his staff accountant, the sales admin, the order entry manager and the order entry clerk on these to get the right approvals to the right places and usually these strings of communication take place via email, the final one which is attached to the contract that finally ends up on my desk.

Today I got the best one of these ever.  There's an email from the OE supervisor that says in-house leasing was approved verbally by the CFO to the staff accountant who was with the sales admin who verbally passed the approval to the OE clerk who told the OE supervisor.  The final approval email essentially says "I'm told that she says that she said that she said that he said it was ok".  *shakes head*

Nice one. Tho I think (when I used to have to keep hardcopies of emails for that sort of transaction) my fave thread was the one that included a vendor starting off all professional and sliding gradually down into "OMG sooo hung over LOL :o) hope I can make it til lunch!!!".

That's super-special. Is this the sort of situation that if you call up people to verify that this actually is OK, you'll get yelled at, but if you just do it and it turns out something is wrong later, you'll also get yelled at?
