How about this one.

I walk into the office today and a member of our IT department comes to me
and says, "I recieved a message from an executive last night with a
weird zip attachment. I was unsure, so I ran a virus scan...and nothing was
found."

I had to stop him right there, it was feeling more and more like a Monday,
and ask him bluntly, "You didn't open it did you?". Well he had, luckily
he refrained from running the exe found within the zip.

I can accept things like this my end users, but a member of the IT  
department,
come on.
