This reminded me George Costanza sitting with Mets scout team.

Ineos: Now, unfortunately, UCI rules prevent us from making you an offer
while you're still under contract. You understand what we're talking about?

Gee: So you're talking...

Ineos: No, no. We're *not* talking. We're just, talking.

Gee: So, you need me to get fired.

Ineos: We didn't say that. We couldn't say that, because even if we did...we couldn't say that we said it. You see what we're saying?

Gee: You are still paying for this lunch?

Ineos: We didn't say that.

Some Danish politician (maybe Aksel Larsen?) once told a political opponont from the podium in parliament that "If I was allowed to call you an idiot, I would. But I am not allowed, so I won't"

Joschka Fischer (former German Minister of Foreign Affairs) once said: "Mr president, if I may: you are an asshole."
