Ryan is not supposed to work over time at his company. He accidentally worked a couple extra hours and wrote them down on his time sheet without thinking. His boss called him down to his office and reminded him that he wasn't supposed to work overtime. Sorry, said Ryan, it was an accident. Okay, said boss.

In the *next sentence* he said "other people here work more than 40 hours a week. Why don't you work more than 40 hours a week?"

"well", explained Ryan gently, "I do work more than 40 hours a week. But I only write down 40 because if I wrote down more than that, you'd be paying me over time, and you just told me you don't want me to do that."

ARRRGH.
