Beans Don't Burn on the Grill

In an attempt to earn a paycheck with a position commensurate with my pending rank, I have been interviewing to be our Directorate leader's executive officer. (The position is for a member of the Senior Executive Service, the civilian equivalent of a one-star general.)
Last week I met with both the outbound and inbound Director of Ops, an Army colonel and AF colonel-to-be, respectively, and then the Deputy Director, a civilian. This honed my ability to prepare just the right answers when I met the Director today:

"So. Why do you want to be the exec?"
"Well, it's a lot closer to the Men's Room."
