Won't post the whole thing as it's banking s**t but...

The 2007 annual report of British bank HSBC Holdings was so heavy that the UK’s Royal Mail limited the number its postmen were allowed to carry in an effort to protect the backs of workers.

:funneh At 454 pages and weighing 1.47kg apiece, the hard copies of the reports were eventually delivered late to around 35 000 British shareholders as postal workers are permitted to carry a maximum of 16kg per satchel.

HSBC quipped: “In any case, you can download the thing from hsbc.com.”

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.
