       I'll ask the vendor for ballpark prices to see if the idea is
       feasible. "You can't talk with vendors until our change control board
       approves the project." "But that would require a cost-benefit
       analysis." "And I can't do that without ballpark prices from the
       vendor." "Just take your best guess." "So...I should make up a number
       so I can get approval to make a phone call and ask what the number
       should have been?" "Right. But first you need to get my approval to do
       the cost-benefit analysis." "Will you approve it?" "I'd have to see
       the numbers."
