For items like this, it can be quite handy.  Then again, I've had an
exciting working life so far: a lucky one some ways, so I haven't felt
much need to use it.  Usually, asking for a notarized record detailing
the circumstances and enumerating the objections I've raised is enough
to put the kibosh on this kind of nonsense.

Here's a quote I haven't use on a boss yet, but it's a good one to
keep handy, too:

    Most people, on listening to a string of nonsense, will tend to
    doubt their own sanity before they realize that the person who is
    jabbering at them is really the one with the damaged brain.
