Foolish Request of the Day -- Grill

Our office complex has a communal grill that is chained to the fence.

Submitted Request: Can you please unchain the grill so I can borrow it for a family BBQ I am hosting this weekend? Also, can you make sure it has a full tank of propane?

Secretary's Solution: Don't host a BBQ if you don't own a grill. The office grill isn't going anywhere, hence the chain.

His Reply: Come on, it is only for the weekend. I don't want to have to go to your boss.

My Reply: Feel free (as I provided my boss' email)

Boss' Memo to the Whole Company: The office appliances, kitchen tools and grill are not for personal use. Taking them from the office is prohibited. Thank you.
