Once in a TV studio being readied for a show with a very famous TV star, the
director wandered in and asked an engineer if he could straighten up all the camera and mic cables. He wanted it to look nice that day.
The engineer, a good friend of mine who was deep into a broken camera that was needed in less than an hour turned and said, "Be glad were not doing all this with steam!"
