Baking analogy at work today. Today we're trying to bake cakes from our office but using our customer's oven via remote access. However, the customer's oven is occupied with baking a huge cake which no one knew anything about. Nobody had any idea why this cake's being baked, when it was placed in the oven, or even who this cake was for. But no one dared to risk dumping this cake out of the oven. As a result everyone had to share baking their cakes in the oven with this gigantic cake, which is as effective as replacing the oven with a matchstick. Finally we placed a distress call to the customer who didn't know the Unidentified Baking Object either (but couldn't just chuck it), and so everyone baked on.
