I use this in meetings whenever someone says that they’re sure I’ll agree with them: “He don’t know me very well, do he?” Anytime I get something that isn’t to spec: “If I didn’t know this \ I’d swear it was carrots!” ---

I tend to sing the following Bugs-used lyrics and confuse the Hell out of people: _…I’m looking over A three-leaf clover That I overlooked be-three!_ and _…I dream of Jeannie She’s a light brown hare…_ If we’re allowing branch-outs into other cartoon universes, this Woody Woodpecker line pops out of my mouth frequently: WW: If I’d known you were coming, I’d’ve baked a cake. I haven’t got a cake…but I got a pie! ---

When I encounter someone really stupid (not mentally challenged, mind you - just the type of thick people that occasionaly run the register at Fred Meyer, or fast food joints, etc.) I will quote Beaky Buzzard in my head (or aloud to my wife once we’re out of earshot - she usually smacks me for being rude): “Doo-de-doo-de-doo-doo, doo-doo-doooo, doo-de-doo, de-doo-de-doo-de-doo-dooo.” But typing doesn’t do it justice. You have to see it here (it starts at 46 seconds in, but the whole clip is worth watching): [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4LHj2fitPng](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4LHj2fitPng) And this one doesn’t qualify as a quote per se, but whenever I come across a needlessly complex device, program or process (and in my line of work in sales operations, I see a **lot** of needless complexity) the factory music from Looney Tunes goes through my head - **[Powerhouse](http://raymondscott.com/Powerhse.wav)** by Raymond Scott. And finally - the one sure way to drive my wife crazy is to sing the song from _[One Froggy Evening](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One_Froggy_Evening)_ - “Hello my baby, hello my honey, hello my ragtime gal. . .” Drives her completely batshit - she once threw a hardcover book at me to get me to shut up. ---

When leaving work, I’ll occasionally tell everyone ‘Nightie niiiggghhht’ in that mad scientist voice. When donuts are announced in the break room, I’ll sing “Oh, there’s food around the corner, food around the corner, food around the corner for meeeee!” I have a co-worker named Ralph. Every morning he walks by my desk and says “Mornin’ Biggirl.” and I answer “Mornin’ Ralph-- Mornin’ Sam.” It’s been years and I still don’t think he knows why I do this. ---

I don’t quote Looney Tunes often any more, but when I have the opportunity, I love the line from Duck Dodgers, about his disintegrating ray: “When I say it disintegrates, by golly, it disintegrates.” One awkward silence later: “Well, what do you know, it disintegrated”. ---
