You know the part in Fight Club where Ed Norton's character explains his job as a claims adjuster: "Now, should we initiate a recall? Take the number of vehicles in the field, A, multiply by the probable rate of failure, B, multiply by the average out-of-court settlement, C. A times B times C equals X. If X is less than the cost of a recall, we don't do one." It's based on a real memo, passed around Ford, regarding the dangerous nature of the Ford Pinto. It's funnier when you think it's made up for a movie.
