What is the biggest lie you've been told at a bank? Summer Intern or Full Time Analyst

What is the biggest lie your group has told you / and or your favorite ironic banking phrase? I'll start below:

For starters: "We're not a big face-time group" ... as I sit here at 12am writing this

The classic: Drop work on your desk at 7pm and resulting "Get this to me first thing tomorrow morning, but don't stay here all night"

What are your favorite?
