The Ball is in Your Court

Somebody in a meeting once told me that the ball was in my court.  I was rather confused by this as we were not playing any form of ball game, nor were we playing Medieval Knights.  I told him that though I had never heard of a game that combined both ball sports and Medieval Knights into one game, it definitely sounded intriguing, especially if the Jester was the Goalie.  He looked at me oddly and stormed out of the meeting in a huff.  Some people just don't know how to take suggestions.
