I'm pretty sure I've mentioned several times how my boss is an idiot. A huge idiot. I just got copied on an email to the client quoting them a monthly hosting fee of several hundred dollars for the sole purpose of hosting a "coming soon..." page. The client has requested we put a page up immediately because some marketing materials were inadvertently distributed prior to a program going live, but $750/month for a single web page is @#%^ing stupid. I don't care what red tape or corporate politics is involved.
Edit: Yeah, this was supposed to go in the OOT, but whatever.

Hold on, is he paying $750 a month or receiving $750 a month?
If he's receiving, I'd say he's pretty smart.

Would a hotel suddenly start charging $1000 a night for a room that usually costs $100/night? No. Why? Because there are plenty of other hotels for the customers to use to avoid the price gouging. Same concept applies here; he's just too ignorant to understand / accept it.
Make the client a better offer.
In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.

We're talking about hosting, not a hotel room. Most people don't know what hosting should cost. Shame on the customer for being too lazy to pickup the phone and call someone else.

I've thought about this several times, actually.

Thinking doesn't sound like doing.
Just as Planned.

Also the Masters. I learned early to never do anything in Augusta except cook for yourself with food bought the week prior and go watch the rounds live. That is, if I stayed in Augusta. Everything in the city shoots up to double, and hotels and temporary renters make bank charging even more.
