Before negotiation meetings with new clients, we always put up posters in the conference room of various structural failures.  Then when the client asks us why this or why that, we need only lean back in our chairs, look at one of the posters, and ask our business manager out loud, "Does our insurance cover that?"

Love it, Mike!  What a great philosophy (except the last phrase, of course).
