if you don't can it with the light relief he might, flip and spend 30 seconds ineffectually banging a flimsy aluminium chair against the toughened glass of a high street bank for the benefit of the cameras!
you have been warned.
I just feel powerless and stupid, and I really see no reason to pretend otherwise by cracking jokes now. It's a way of somehow trying to reassert control (in your mind) over a situation that you can't control now, and that is deadly serious in a way that anyone can see. Nothing wrong with typical forum style, which I like at most times. By all means joke if you must, but it's just the wrong time to me.
