Who else would react this way?

A memory from high school: As I went to put my upright bass back in the storage room after a jazz band rehearsal, I noticed a leak in the ceiling.  I called the orchestra director at home, and we had this exchange:

Me: Hi, sorry to call you at home so late...I just thought you'd like to know that the ceiling in the instrument storage room is leaking, and water is starting to fall on the instrument cases.
Mr. D.: So, you're telling me to change our next concert program to Handel's "Water Music" and the theme from "Jaws?"
Me:  If you think that's best, yeah...
