He: “Was that a derisive snort coming from you?”

Me: “Hmmm, what?”

He: “Were you being derisive?”

Me: “About what?”

He: “Me.”

Me: “No. You’re beneath my notice.”

He: “Oh. Guess I’ll work on that.”

Me: “Sorry, what did you say?”

He: “Look, you have to leave me with an avenue for communication or I’ll be forced to resort to manly displays to get your attention.”

Me: “Yeah, send me a memo then. I’ll be in my office.”
