WARNING!
This will not be funny for people who do not work in IT
:( I feel geeky because I laughed

DBA: You want answers?
Manager: I think I'm entitled to them.
DBA: You want answers?
Manager: I want the truth!
DBA: You can't handle the truth! We live in a world that has SQL Servers, and those SQL Servers have to be guarded by SQL DBA's. Who's gonna do it? You? YOU!? I have a greater responsibility than you can possibly fathom.
You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know...
In my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, it protects SQL Servers... You don't want the truth, because deep down; in places you don't talk about at parties, you want me protecting that SQL Server. You *need* me on that SQL Server.
We use words like honor, T-Sql code and loyalty... we use these words as the backbone to a life spent defending something. You use 'em as a punchline. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very protection I provide, then questions the manner in which I provide it!
I'd rather you just said thank you and went on your way.
Otherwise, I suggest you pick up an understanding of SQL Server and start writing some code. Either way, I don't give a damn what you think you're entitled to!
Manager: Did you order the T-Sql code font red?
DBA: (quietly) I did the job you sent me to do.
Manager: Did you order the T-Sql code font red?
DBA: You're goddamn right I did!
