Instead of coffee...

Find two cups of coffee on Charlie's desk

me: hey Charlie, doubling down on caffeine? 

Charlie: yea, but I should cut back on coffee. I've been drinking too much of it recently

me: probably not a bad idea

Charlie: I'll start drinking milk instead

me: ...what? 

Charlie: well like you've said before, when you drink too much coffee you build up a tolerance for caffeine, and it doesn't work as well

me: I did say that...but why milk? 

Charlie: I'm already drinking milk that's in the coffee so I'll just remove the coffee

me: why not drink water?

Charlie : you know, so they feel more comfortable me : but what if you've never talked to them via email? Charlie : I'll fake it, play it off like "oh yea, I sent you a bunch of emails about stuff" me : and what if they then go back and see there's no email communication with you?
