true story

colleague says to wife, "I'm sorry I can't be there - I have a 24/7 operation to support".
wife (who knows that he is avoiding the gymkhana) "what 7 hours a day 24 days a month - you've plenty of time" collapse of colleague.

It was also suggested to me that a SAP year holds less than 365 days for maintenance reasons.
