More like using a golf club to drive in a masonry bolt. It might be possible
in the theoretical sense but nobody has ever really got that to work. If
said eejit boss thinks theres's a 1% chance it will work he'll simply think
you're lazy if you don't try.
"It can't be done" are probably the words you're grasping for. Tell him
to call IBM Global Solutions and ask for a quote.
