Dodgy work ethicsChthonic asks: What's the naughtiest thing a boss has ever asked you to do? And did you do it? Or perhaps you are the boss and would like to confess.

I used to work as a secretary for the Criminal Department in a firm of Solicitors. The boss would generally dictate random gibberish which I would then type into something suitable. My favourite example is the day he asked me to "write to the CPS and ask the rotten bastards to send us our disclosure".
I duly typed something appropriate:
Dear Sirs
Where's our disclosure, you rotten bastards.
Yours faithfully
Upon reading his mail at the end of the day, he chuckled, signed it and we sent it on.
Apparently he had some rather vexed junior from the CPS on the phone the following morning.
