VP: “I have some upsetting news.”

Me: “Yes?”

VP: “I have to cancel the Intranet merger meeting next week.”

Me: “And why would I be upset?”

VP: “Are you kidding? We’ve only been trying to schedule this thing for months!”

Me: “Yeah, but it’s not my project.”

VP: “Oh. So you’re not upset?”

Me: “Nope. Nice try, though.”
