Oh Really? (Platitudes, promises, and famous last words)

 

I’m from the government and I’m here to help.

This won’t hurt a bit.

The check is in the mail.

You betcha!

But he was such a nice, quiet individual who wouldn’t hurt a fly.

Would I lie to you?

Trust me, I know what I’m doing.

Cross my heart and hope to die, I won’t tell a soul.

You have my word on it.

This should be okay.

Hold my beer and watch this shit.

This is going to hurt me more than it hurts you.

This won’t take long.

It’s an easy/simple fix.

No problem, I’ve done this before.

I can just picture it now…

Based on my experience/what I’ve learned…

I’ve got it covered.

There’s nothing to see here, now move along.

For the life of me, I don’t see how this could have happened.

So, what’s the big deal?

All is well, remain calm.

What could possibly go wrong?

I’m sure that this was what I did the last time. 

Why are you bothering me/wasting my time on this nonsense?

There shouldn’t be any more problems/issues after this.

Don’t worry about xxx. XXX will be fine.

Let’s just forget that this ever happened.

Mother got Goosed

 

Jack and Jill

Jack and Jill went up the hill to fetch a pail of water. Jack fell down and broke his crown, now Jill has hired one of the best tort lawyers in town.

 

Hey Diddle-Diddle

Hey diddle-diddle, the cat and the fiddle, the cow jumped over the moon. The little dog laughed to see such a sight, but soon realized that the weed was giving him a serious case of the munchies as well.

 

Baa-baa Black Sheep

Baa-baa black sheep, have you any wool. Yes sir, yes sir, three bags full. One for the master, one for the dame, and one for the sweatshop located right down the lane.

 

Humpty Dumpty

Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall. Humpty Dumpty had a great fall. All the King’s horses and all the King’s men weren’t allowed to touch him because it wasn’t spelled out in their collective bargaining agreement.

 

The Old Woman in a Shoe

There was an old woman who lived in a shoe. She had so many children, she didn’t know what to do. That is, until Child Protective Services got involved.

 

Three Men in a Tub

Rub a dub-dub, three folks in a tub, and who do you think they be? A politician, an environmentalist, a corporate elitist, all waiting for the global rise of the seas.

 

Jack be Nimble

Jack wasn’t so nimble. Jack wasn’t that quick. The folks at the ER stated that he suffered 2nd and 3rd degree burns because of a candlestick.

 

 Jack Spratt

Jack Spratt could eat no fat, his wife could eat no lean. Their primary care doctor fixed them up with a registered dietician, an idea that they thought was pretty keen.

 

London Bridge

London Bridge is falling down, falling down, falling down. London Bridge is falling down, my fair lady.

They sold it at a cut rate price, cut rate price, cut rate price. They sold it at a cut rate price, my fair lady.

Now it’s in Lake Havasu, Havasu, Havasu, Havasu. Now it’s in Lake Havasu, my fair lady.

 

Rock-a-bye Baby

Rock-a-bye baby in the treetop. When the wind blows, the cradle will rock. When the bow breaks, the cradle will fall…… did anyone here NOT see that one coming?


Simple Simon

Simple Simon met a pie man going to the fair.

Said Simple Simon to the pie man “let me taste your ware.”

Sid the pie man to Simple Simon “get the f#@k outta here!”

 

Little Miss Muffet

Little Miss Muffet sat on a tuffet eating her curds and whey.

Along came a spider and sat down beside her, and that was the end of his day!

 

Little Miss Muffet (pandemic style)

Little Miss Muffet sat on a tuffet eating her curds and whey.

Along came a spider and sat down beside her, which caused her to tell it to get the F-away.
