I am a consummate team player and lover of rules. I believe in waiting my turn, cheering for people who slow down the team ace (namely, me), saying please and thank you, and passing the cake around until everyone has a slice. It's unfortunate that not everyone was brought up as properly as I was. The misanthropic Whitecastle stopped halfway through cake passing today to grab a nice slice for himself.
Moi: You can't pick your own piece!
Whitecastle: (deadly glare)
Moi: I mean, erm, you can pick whatever you want.
Whitecastle: Listen, you're a little research assistant, you can't give me lip. My grants pay for your salary.
Moi: It's not very much money though.
Whitecastle: Yeah, my grants aren't very big...
Moi: I'd probably suck up more if the grants were bigger.
Whitecastle: You probably wouldn't get a raise even if the grants were bigger.
