Long ago, when I worked at Control Data, there was a rule against having personal fridges. (Why? Dunno.) However, my department was stuck in a temporary trailer far from the cafeteria. So someone simply yanked the nameplate from some old Cyber sitting around and stuck it on his fridge. No one who cared was ever the wiser, and I kept it stocked with FreeziePops all summer long. Good times.
