After a management change, the "class clown" at my job as building maintenance engineer of a 1000 room resort/golf course was assigned to repaint the parking blocks for the newly assigned reserved parking of the department supervisors.
When he reported that there was not enough room to paint "Assistant Chief Engineer" (the person who assigned the job), the assistant chief said "use an abbreviation".
We all had a good laugh for about a week about "***. Chief".
