You see this, pal? *Taps mug*
You're looking at America's finest. A grade A cup of joe, and you'll notice something about it...

It is not empty.
Please, my friend, let me finish this off before you continue our discussion. I want to give you the courtesy of my full attention, but I need to get through this dirty joe first, I do not want to have to contact HR again.

Thanks for your understanding AND your compliance.
