Sir, there are ferrets trying to reorganise my files.
( a few seconds later )I imagine they think they're being helpful, be they really aren't.
( a few seconds after that )I would have told you this in person, but your umbrella is standing guard outside your door and refuses to allow anyone in.
( a few seconds after that )I'll try to talk some sense into it before your eleven o'clock meeting.
( a few seconds after that )As I just said I'm going to try and reason with your umbrella, perhaps it would be preferable to simply reschedule your appointments.
