I think that should be “If you’re [Kiki](http://www.sluggy.com/daily.php?date=990904) and you know it…” \<poing\> 😉

If you want to start a hijack, pick a fight!  
Claim that gays are all depraved, or Bush is right!  
If you want a thread derailed,  
This approach has never failed,  
For it’s guaranteed that some poor fool will bite!

Dude, I work for a Japanese company!!

The best things I’ve ever heard the office manager _try_ to say are “bereavement leave” and “temporarily.” She just can’t do it!!

That’s a pretty funny site, **Avarie537**  
So if a manager rushes up to you and says “Crap!” do you applaud, or run?

I’m trying to work my way up to purgatory with a milder one:

If you’re clumsy and you know it, clap your hands.  
But you’re clumsy and you miss by a wide span.  
Your arms whip around your back,  
Your hands tuck inside your crack.  
If you’re clumsy, never try to clap your hands.

Huh - pressed ‘submit’ before I copied the rest of the ones I’ve been working on…

If you’re happy and contagious, wash your hands  
If you’ve chills and shakes and nasty swollen glands  
If you’ve numbness in the head  
Then cheer up – you’ll soon be dead  
If you’re happy and contagious, wash your hands  
.  
.  
.

If you really like equations, solve for _p_  
Where _p_’s the first derivative of _t_  
And _t_ (in things per hour)  
Is raised to some ungodly power  
Plus the square root of a quarter of _h c_  
.  
.  
.

If you’ve heard it all before, blah blah blah  
.  
.  
.

If you’ve nearly reached your climax, cla-aa-aaahh!  
If you’ve – ooohh, oh yeah, baby – yeah yeah yeahh!  
If you – wow! That’s just so ohhh…  
And you really mmmm – yeah, ohhhhhh!  
If you omigosh yes yes oh-uh-uh-uh-uuuhhhhhhhhhhhh!

If you’re trying to do homework, don’t come here.  
You’ll be distracted and set into arrears.  
You’ll be forced to write this song,  
and you’ll want to sing along.  
But your homework is causing your eyes to tear.
