Long ago, I worked at a tv station that required every office to have a television and have it tuned to the station.
So, I had a TV put in my office, tuned it to the station, and took it apart.
The pieces were all tossed into a corner.
When the general manager came by, he said that wasn’t what he meant.
Another TV was brought in, plugged in, and turned on.
So, I turned it to face the wall, opened the case, and cut the speaker wires.
The general manager saw that, too, but gave up on the bullshit.
