You cannot be wrong with the figures in your presentations. He can.
You cannot be saying one thing one day and the very opposite the next day. He can.
You cannot make excuses. He can.
You cannot talk rot. He can.
You cannot tell him off. He can.
You cannot take the weekend off. He can.
You cannot be sarcastic. He can.
You cannot be funny. He can.
Most importantly, you cannot be calling in sick. He can.
