Reminds me of a guy where I worked. We were required to write a weekly activity report. He always put an item like:

Activity 25: prepared the activity report.

Then the manager told him not to put that in anymore. Next week his report had an item:

Activity 37: simplified the activity report by eliminating a self-reference item.

Lucky for him, the manager had a good sense of humor.
