The Life and Times of S

So my good friend from work, T., and I were having a light-hearted conversation as usual today, when out of the blue, he said to me: "Hey listen, can we turn it down a notch on the jokes? I don't want the new people to think of me as the Office Buffoon, even though I know that I just might really be the Office Buffoon."

The following conversation ensued:

S: "No one thinks you're a buffoon."
T: "Look, you don't have to say that just to make me happy."
S: "Listen, I think you're very bright and a good person. I do have to say that you're quirky. But I hold you in high regard. And I know of a few other people who do the same too."

He didn't believe me.
I meant what I said, though, and I didn't know how else to say it.
