UPDATED WITH NEW LINK TO AUDIO.
Some time ago a friend forwarded me an audio recording of an interview he conducted. No names are used (except for John's), no companies are identified--to protect the (very) guilty. A few words were unintelligible. While the transcript it entertaining on its own, when read along with the audio it may actually kill you. Here's the audio.
