professional = I want to eat you

nice = I want to help you

professional + nice = I want to eat you and help you?

Now that doesn't work at all.



An analogy like that can be used in many ways. Here is my version:

professional = I have to eat you (not want)

nice = I am sorry (being nice is not only about helping)

professional + nice = I have to eat you and I am sorry.


in the art world we call that a "lie"


I am sorry but I have to eat you.

?


I drank your milkshake, ha ha ha.
