Client: I don’t want to clutter up the website with information only a few people will need to see.
Me:So, put that in the newsletter?

With a new sound effect, he flailed his hands about.

Client: Like…
The hands started their flight.
Client: This!
He then ‘wooshed’ for a solid ten seconds as his hands did their little dance.
