I chuckled a bit because the GP mentioned Oracle. I'm sure you've heard this one:

Customer: "How much does an Oracle database license cost?" Oracle Rep: "Well, how much do you have?"

That's actually not a joke. Oracle liked to argue you should accept server licences as being a fraction of your budget, so when it went up you'd automatically pay them more.
