Engineer buys battle tank instead of water tank!

I'm guess that very few of us have bosses this kool... hilarious!

[World News]: London, Dec 17 : Ben Nicholson, an apprentice engineer was told to order a water tank, but he went ahead and purchased a three million pound Challenger battle tank instead.

Ben, 24, was very scared after he realised his mistake and feared that he might lose his job.

In reality, however, Ben had been set up by his manager Nik Smith.

Smith had told Ben to order a bitumen-coated tank and gave him a list of phone numbers, including one for defence contractor BAE Systems.

However, the BAE staff soon found out that it was a 'fun plan' and they played along and sent him the invoice.
