This just happened

Me: "Now that Alberto Gonzalez is stepping down, I know the perfect replacement for him."

Boss: "Who?"

Me: "Jack McCoy. He'd be perfect, because he isn't ruled by party lines, just what is right and wrong."

Boss: "You just have a crush on him."

Me: "No, but I think I have a crush on what he represents."

Boss, laughing: "You do not!"

Me: "I do. I totally have a crush on justice!"

Boss leaves office laughing.
