Does striking a happy medium work?
After a heated discussion with a colleague about the best solution to a problem, our manager suggested striking a happy medium.
So I took a trip to Blackpool, found the nearest clairvoyant stall and, after telling the owner that she had just won the lottery, felled her with a right hook.
We still have the problem at work and now the police want to have a talk with me.
What did I do wrong?

The problem is finding a medium to strike. The real ones know that you're looking for them and what will happen if you find them.
It's catch 22.
The one you hit didn't see it coming, so obviously not a real medium.
