President Josiah Bartlet: What is that?

Morris Tolliver: It's a flu shot.

President Josiah Bartlet: I don't need a flu shot.

Morris Tolliver: You do need a flu shot.

President Josiah Bartlet: How do I know this isn't the start of a military coup?

Morris Tolliver: Sir...

President Josiah Bartlet: I want the Secret Service in here right away.

Morris Tolliver: In the event of a military coup, sir, what makes you think the Secret Service is going to be on your side?

President Josiah Bartlet: [pause] Now that's a thought that's going to fester.

Like with comedy, timing is everything. I’m wearing a poorly made flight jacket, signing “Highway to the danger zone” in Berlin after someone dirged their way through Zombie by The Cranberries. The crowd probably would have joined in with anything.

I was introduced to the German insult of of "Hobbyless Behaviour" this year, certainly seems to fit here too! www.tumblr.com/abbiistabbii...
The Germans really cooked making "Hobbyless behaviour" an insult. It is both devastating, applicable to a wide range of people and behaviours, and doesn't resort to swearing.

Man ranting on the internet about the Superbowl halftime show or complaining that something is "woke"? Hobbyless Behaviour. Girls mocking another girl for not looking right? Hobbyless Behaviour. Mindless vandalism? Hobbyless Behaviour.

It is more powerful than "get a life" or the English "You're Sad" because it gets to the central point of the matter, and that is wonderful. Danke, Deutsch.
