“...but of course there are obvious exceptions”

The Dilbert Blog: Silent Words:

"I’d also like to proclaim here and now that all future sentences I utter are appended with “but of course there are obvious exceptions.”

This is important because about half of my time spent interacting with people involves me staring dully at them while they point out the obvious exception to whatever I’ve just said.

Example:

Me: “Nice weather.”

Other Person: “Not everywhere on earth. Plus, the day is young. It could still get cloudy later.”"
