Back in the old McDonnell Douglas Days, every year each employee would either receive a canned ham or a 5 pound block of cheese. Really.

No remarkable coincidence that they were from a country where we had sold a new airplane.

Lets see: TCAS; that will be 16,400 hams. ACARS; that's 17,850 blocks of cheese.

Both my wife and I worked there so we would get one of each and use them for our Christmas Eve party.
