True story a few years ago after lifting things on to tall buildings.
Shortly after landing at the base the phone rang with a prospective client wanting to know if we could lift a large neon sign off the top of his building. The crewman overheard the conversation between the pilot and customer and the pilots reservation due to the 4 ton weight. The crewman stepped up to the phone and indicated he would like to talk to the man. The phone was duly handed over and the crewman enquired whether the neon sign could be tuned on. The client indicated there would be no problems but why---so that it would be lighter was the reply. Needless to say the job did not occur.
