"Leave it with me and I'll get back to you" = my coffee beckons and I don't possess the integrity and/or intellect to provide you with the honest answer that you were obviously seeking. See abridged version: "the second word is 'off'!"
You do the work, they get the loot. The men with the smiles and the 3 piece suits.
