Keeping your Manager informed of a potential problem involving a Senior Vice President is good. Replying to his question of "What was his mood like?" with "If he was happy, I wouldn't need to give you a heads up." is not good. Subtle humor is sometimes lost on those at a managerial level.
Being a manager can suck the wits as well as humor out of you!
