"There's a huge oil spill boss. Lets get to work?"
CEO: '..Screw that I'm on vacation. Lets wait two months then try something.'
"...But it's going to be a huge disaster and we'll screw over the economy a fair bit and kill tourism'.
"I SAID I'M ON MY FUCKING VACATION!.. Oh wait. I'd better go try and apologize on TV then continue my vacation. NOW GET OUT OF MY OFFICE!
"
...'Nuff said. S'not my fault I can't go to the beach anymore.
