Yesterday in a phone conversation with a colleague, I was talking about a phone conversation I need to have with someone else. "It's time for me to express my controlled fury," I said, and then heard myself add, "Honestly, I ought to do that more often, because whenever I do, it's good for me and for you and for everyone involved."
I wasn't halfway through before I started laughing; my colleague politely waited until she was sure I was laughing, to begin laughing herself.
