I remember the VP of Engineering for the company I worked for held a mandatory meeting for his managers on a weekend afternoon. One of his managers was a no-show, and when he commented on it another guy said "It's his son's tenth birthday and they're having a party." The VP looked incredulous and said "Why would anyone miss an important meeting for a 10-year-old's party?" Luckily it was a rhetorical question because no one said anything. Oh, and the VP was divorced and estranged from his kids; I wonder why.
