Me: "I need to order some parts from a new vendor in Germany. What information do you need from them to set them up in our system?"
Purchasing: "You'll need to have them send us their W-9."
Where have all the lightweights gone?

I had to facepalm myself. I've been there and dealt with that before.

Makes me think of when the new manufacturing guy came to a meeting and told us we were now expected to let him know of any unexpected demand ahead of time.

An actual quote from a meeting I was in: "We need you to make a list of unknown uknowns and put together a risk mitigation strategy."
