Setting: a conference call between SF, LA and France

Players: me (VP), Paul and Patrick (marcom directors)

Context: We were talking about the budget for the upcoming year. I asked them both to prepare two drafts, one based on the same amount of spending as the current year, and one that included an increase to cover recommended new programs and promotions.

Paul: "Ideally we should add at least another couple of million to advertising worldwide..."

Me: "If I had a million dollars..."

Paul: "I'd buy you a green dress."

Me: "But not a real green dress, that's cruel."

Patrick: ?

And that's how Paul and I knew we would be friends forever.
