Going back decades Britannia calculated the fuel cost for adding one large orange to their in-flight meals ... they diidn't add the orange

I remember this. Give an accountant a calculator and anything is possible. The cost of the orange, and the delivery thereof, plus the teaspoon of fuel was all added together. The accountant crunched the numbers and I think claimed he had just paid his salary in one foul swoop.
