    Funny how that happens, innit? Or this one: "Sure, we could relax the
    border security. Please understand, however, that when you follow my
    recommendations: I take ownership. If something goes wrong, I go to
    work on it as soon as possible and spend however much time it takes to
    fix it. Fail to heed my advice and *you* take ownership. This means
    you aren't allowed to call me in the middle of the night, on weekends
    or whilst I'm on vacation, should the wheels fall off. Recovery takes
    place entirely on your time, not mine. Choose."
