So in my case at IBM the trick to being able to keep a hand-and-a-half sword in your office is to just have it appear there one day. My boss did a bit of a double-take the first time he saw it but that was the only reaction I got.

They did have a "no firearms in the building" policy but that didn't extend to medieval edged weapons, although there may have been a change made after I left.

And I thought I was crazy for keeping a crowbar in the office...

(I work at a particle accelerator and we need to protect ourselves for interdimensional breaches)

Do you truky, in your heart of hearts, believe that?

It is obviously a joke, but I bought it after several visitors asked us if we didn't have a crowbar xD

Wouldn't you also want to keep a can of spray paint to draw the Elder Sign? You know, in case it was needed in a hurry.

Come to think of it, does an Elder Sign still work if you spray it onto a wall using a template? I think you need to investigate that the next time there's a breach... you've got plenty of interns right?

I need to ask me Warhammer colleague...
