I wonder if da real-life American bureaucrat with da "lip-service" last name would have enjoyed reading da "Henry Hugginger" books?

Get the Henry Hugginger mug."You can sit around at home till Doomsday and the prices at the pumps will stay fairly low, incessantly tempting you to travel. But the moment you decide to take off somewhere and head out on your trip, the price for a gallon of gas will go right through the roof!"
Gas-prices seemed fairly "stable" all summer, and so I delayed a road-trip for a while to "save up" or "accumulate" a number of errands so that hopefully my trip would be more cost-effective with regards to gas-consumption, but then when I stopped to fill up my tank in the morning when I was first heading out, the price had suddenly jumped over a quarter higher per gallon! Sounds like a classic case of "Murphy's Law of Gasoline Prices" to me!

Get the Murphy's Law of Gasoline Prices mug.Similar to the tobacco-themed "take a break" saying, this phrase refers to an occasional interval during travel or work when anyone in the party who has previously been "holding it in" is now permitted to "let fly" as much as he/she desires, even if said eruptions are obscenely loud and/or odiferous. Further explanation unnecessary.
Hippie-bus driver: Okay, folks --- we're about to cross the Passagassawakeag bridge, so I'm lowering the windows --- feel free to pass it if you've got it!

Get the Pass it if you've got it mug.A very unhealthful sugar-substitute that causes you to behave in a hyper and selfishly-reckless manner like the disgustingly-sleazy John Poindexter of Iran-Contra infamy.
Between the oliver oil, orange mcfarlanade, and poindextrose, it;s no wonder that the Iran-Contra Affair was such a "recipe for disaster".

Get the poindextrose mug.Da jury is still out on whether Napoleon Blownapart was actually anything less than average height (some claim dat it was due to da French's having a slightly longer inch than da English did), but da scornful smallotry about him continues to this day.

Get the smallotry mug."If you go ahead and say something, people will get mad and accuse you of being too bold/impudent/forward, expecting too much, or asking too many questions. But if you keep quiet, people will criticize you for being too wimpy to stand up for yourself."
As a child and teenager, people always griped at me for my speaking my mind, and so I finally got too timid to open my mouth. Nowadays, however, many folks --- including some of those very same criticizers from my youth --- tell me that I need to stick up for myself more and stop being such a wuss... can't win! Classic example of "Murphy's Law of Speaking Up", I guess.

Get the Murphy's Law of Speaking Up mug.What your taste-buds are subjected to when you unwittingly chomp on a strip of lox when you'd assumed it was merely "regular" filleted salmon.
My crafty brother-in-law loves to prankingly slip "extreme" or "spiked" foods on me (i.e., heavily-spiced, excessive onions or vinegar, alum or teriyaki added, etc.) during our backyard barbecues; I therefore always try to remember to warily test any "unattended" plates of food with my tongue before naively taking a bite, so as not to get assalted.
