Much like the "Urban Ledgend" about the piano company who found
that they had delivered a Steinway but had no record of who they delivered
it to.

So the accounting manager told the clerk to send a bill for it to all of
their customers and the one who responded would be correct because nobody
would pay for a Steinway that they did not receive.

Within 60 days they had two checks for the full amount and five partial
payments with notes saying the remainder would be paid soon.
