Ah, crew rooms,and coffee, I remember them.
In the early '80s, a group of us were chatting with the Boss in the crew room. One of the Flt Cdrs dashed in, grabbed a coffee and was on the point of leaving when the Boss said to him "Not staying to finish your coffee, A* ?" To which the Flt Cdr, ever eager to show how important he was
, replied "Sorry Boss, I've got a lot of work to do...."
Came the riposte "That doesn't surprise me, for someone who works as slowly as you do!"
Much mirth and off flounced A* in high dudgeon!
