It doesn’t have to be that exact one, that was just the first example I found... When I suggested that one, I was busy walking around the shop, using a traffic cone as a megaphone and yelling “DONE YET?” at everyone!!! I told you, I was the highest ranking government employee on duty that night... I had “important” stuff to do.
