Oh, agreed.
That comment was actually from *his* boss.
But, the sad part is that just beforehand he had actually started speaking to me again, and he basically explained that he had a dry sense of humor, and that noone really understood him. No apologies, of course. And, then we were interrupted by his boss when he asked to talk to him for a few minutes.
The funniest part (yes, I'm sick) is that the big, big boss walked over about an hour later and made a really bad joke of, "Hey, where's [your boss]?" and just chuckled and said, "Yes, I'm going to burn in hell for that one."
I was freaking rolling to hear that come from a Senior VP. It was awesome.
