Him - "Pretty nice. I have that lens for my camera."
Me - "Yes, it is a nice lens... So, what do you shoot."
Him - "You know, I heard that Nikon is buying Canon"
Me - "So you must shoot a Nikon."
Him - "Yeah..."
Me - "That's ok, my Father is a Nikonian, no hard feelings..."
Him - (Laughing) "I'll let you get back to work."
Me - "Have a nice day!"
Him - "You too."

Then all we'd get it the dreaded blue screen of death. Now if Apple bought Canon, that would be good!
