Last week I was chatting with someone and I said "It's like in West Wing when Josh is always complaining that the story will be about 'process' not substance.
I walked along the street and overheard a conversation where someone said "Arabella's problem is that she is more interested in process than outcome".
In my meeting, someone said "Oh you're looking at outcome rather than process..."
Another time, someone was trying to describe just how boring her and her husband's home life is, trying to evoke sympathy by tugging at the heartstrings. She said "Occasionally we go out for Sunday lunch but otherwise all we ever do is swinging..." At which point everyone jumped, startled. She blushed bright red and "Swimming. Swimming. Swimming."
I came down downstairs and saw that Jimmy had a beer. "Did you ask my permission?" I challenged him.
"Yes," he said, "You gave me permission."
"I don't recall..."
"I shouted upstairs 'Gerry' and you replied 'Yes' so I was pleased you've finally learned to read my mind..."
You can tell who's in charge in our relationship.
