I would like to hijack the thread and offer another entertaining "Big boss/little brain" anecdote in the same vein as the holes in the wall/paint question.
I had a boss who handed out the paychecks every Thursday. The checks were from a large payroll contractor, probably ADP. They were in the form of a check and stub, and were sealed. A window allowed the viewing of the employee's name. To open them, you stripped off one end, then the other, and finally the long strip at the top. The boss asked, in all innocence "How do they print on the inside of the check, when it's all sealed up like that?"
OK, back to holes, lads.
