Countdown to Tears

This from a very reliable source.  A dozen or so years ago an executive was in a meeting at which the CEO of a major regional bank was present.  The CEO asked the executive a financial question, and the executive made an error.  The CEO berated her in front of her peers, and made her count from 1 to 10, and then backwards from 10 to one to "prove" that she understood mathematics.  By the time she finished counting, she was in tears.

This CEO, a relic of times gone by, has since retired.  The executive in question is quite successful in a higher position at the bank, which has since been purchased and absorbed into a larger institution.
