Editorial interpretation

A stand-up-comedy excuse is applied to ordering officers reconciling purchases. A member recalls multiple unauthorized commitments and a ratification process; the anecdote is preserved as an unverified recollection with no subject identified. SOURCE DISCUSSION — transcribed original comments 2021-06-29 — Jonathan Berry: So many memories in one meme. My favorite is probably the guy who made 9 unauthorized commitments just before redeploying. Then totally owning during the ratification process. Coverage: One displayed comment retained.
