By The Way

"By the way...." 

Has any good news ever followed that opening?

• "By the way, you won the Pulitzer Prize."
• "By the way, my uncle wants you to have his Porsche."
• "By the way, we have plenty of bread and milk."
• "By the way, we don't need to go to that cocktail party."
• "By the way, the doctor said it's nothing to worry about."
