Pants Down Explanation

When something is said that is so complete, clear, clever, and simply so perfect for the situation that it makes you want to shout for joy.

While not strictly limited to work, certainly the most common occurrence of a Pants Down Explanation occurs in the work place.
BOSS: "Jenkins, why are we exhibiting at the Business Expo this week?"

EOMPLOYEE: "Because a 600 of the largest buyers of our products will be in attendance. We've pre-marketed to all of them and have face-to-face pitch meetings pre-arranged with 40. By closing an average size deal at our average selling price with just 2 of them, we will have return on our investment in excess of 500%."

Now that's a Pants Down Explanation.

Explanation

I'm pretty sure I deserve one of these. I also feel as though I'm owed one of these.
Iam "I still want an explanation."

Hym "You're not going to get one."

Iam "Well... I should..."

Hym "But you won't."

Iam "I mean... I still think I'm wrong about something here...."

Hym "What's there to think about? It either was what you thought it was or you were intentionally lead astray."

Iam "Yeah, but... *Sigh*.... They could have made this so much easier..."

Hym "I told you before and I'll tell you again. They liked being a hindrance. It was a game to them and they did it because they didn't respect you."

Iam "That's obvious..."

Hym "Look, it really doesn't matter. You left it entirely up to them. They chose that outcome. All of your problems there were communication based and could have been resolved by a 7 word sentence. It would have taken less than han 60 seconds. They didn't want to fix the problem. They liked that the problem bothered you so they allowed it problem to persist."

Iam "........"

Hym "They should have just left us alone"
