Conversation between a sales guy and a technical sales support engineer for an outrageously expensive product ( for whom I used to work on a previous life) :
Sales guy: We are biding for a multi-million $ project and the RFQ requires that our product does X, can our product do X ?
Tech guy: If our software was a car, what you are asking is: "can our car fly?".
Sales guy <puzzled> : Can't you just make it fly?
Tech guy : it is not made to fly! if you must fly, drive off a cliff and technically you will "fly" for a bit.
He made the sale, we got stuck supporting the "flying car"
