I'd tell you

The weather segment on the TV news


Weatherman: Today's high will be 10 degrees C and 48 degrees F and the low will be 5 degrees C and 36 degrees F.


Man: Five degrees Celsius? Oh, that's cold. What a terrible forecast.


Weatherman: Well, it's not my fault. Don't blame me. I don't make the weather; I just do the weather forecast.


Man: But five degrees Celsius, really?


Weatherman: It's not my fault, I'd tell you. We can't have higher temperatures unless we get some more warm air.
