My boss is a talkative fellow if you're talking about a subject he's comfortable with, and since he's a pretty knowledgeable guy, he's comfortable with a wide range of subjects. Alas, food isn't one of them, and normally, after he eats one of my meals, the only thing he'll grunt is, "Was good." He can't even be bothered to add an "it" to the beginning of the sentence. "Mm. Was good." On very rare occasions, my boss might grace me with a, "Mm. Was very good." That's pretty high praise, indeed. I live for those days.
Today, though, the boss showed off his New Yawk sense of humor and said, "Better than a five-star hotel... in Uganda."
"Gee," I said, "And I was about to say 'thank you.'"
