The Segue I'll Always Regret Not Using

So I was standing in the "common area" of my department this morning, talking to Brian, one of our network guys about a douchey lawyer he'd had to deal with yesterday.  I said I'd seen part of the email this lawyer had sent Brian, and Brian was like "That guy is a Grade A c0ck." 

Enter Ed, our interim CIO and Brian's manager for the last 10 years:  "Who's a Grade A c0ck?"  Brian told Ed who we were talking about, and Ed said this lawyer had contacted him yesterday & remarked that it's a good thing Brian doesn't deal with clients.  Duh.

Meanwhile, I've been wanting to get a minute with Ed to tell him about J losing his job, knowing he'd have some contacts that might be useful.  It took ALL MY STRENGTH not to say,

"Speaking of Grade A c0ck, J got let go last week."
