Then there was the story he told us about the Milwaukee grinder...

A large safe under construction fell over, dragging the grinder
off the table.   The safe landed on top of the almost-new grinder.
He swept up the pieces and took the bag to the dealer, poured
out the scraps on the counter and (tongue firmly in cheek)
asked for it to be repaired under the warranty.
