It was called "the axe".  A very light weight black plastic tube about four 
feet long with a slot in the end and a cardboard axe head with "DD DUMMY" 
written on it.  When someone did something really stupid, they would get 
the axe.  It would hang outside their office until the next deserving deed 
by someone else.
