There was a ripple of laughter around the press conference room in Nigel Pearson's response when he was asked about reaching 100 games as Bristol City manager.
As the Robins stretched their unbeaten run to 11 games and ended their 469-day wait without a penalty in a deserved 1-1 draw at Sunderland, the 59-year-old reached his own personal landmark after chalking off a century of matches.
Given the ruthless nature of the hiring and firing of managers, perhaps he could afford himself a glass of red to mark the achievement and an opportunity to reflect on the progress made both on and off the pitch during his tenure.
