There are just soooo many bad one-liners that work here:
“I wonder if the charges will stick?”
“He’s really wrapped up in his work”
“He’s in a sticky situation now”

Feel free to add your own one-liners to the comments.

I have realized why I like this site so much… I find stupid people, I laugh at them, I feel better about myself. It’s really a win-win situation..
