My former boss from the 1980s talked about his early days at a power company in the 1950s. They had a drafting department that was typical of the old days, real pen and ink drawings of very intricate drawings of the power grid. One guy that was the old timer, master, had the task of drawing the main power plant and had spent many long months carefully drawing every wire and connector. He was meticulous about cleanliness and detail. He left his drawing table and put away all the inks and went to lunch for the ink to dry on a new section he just finished.
The co-workers took an old empty bottle of India ink and carefully cut a piece of black paper in the shape of a big ink spill down his drawing and put the empty bottle on its side at the top. From a few feet back it was a perfect illusion of a major ink spill right across his months of work.
He came back from lunch and about had a heart attack as every one was giggling. He was quite relieved to see his drawing was fine.
