Don't do the crime, if you can't do the time.

A "hip" expression of the 1960's-70's that advises you not to do something risky unless you are willing and able to accept the full weight of the consequences.

Ironically popularized by the theme song to the TV show "Baretta" starring Robert Blake.
Fred: "I'm losing my license for drunk driving..."

Charlie: "Quit complaining! You know what they tell you: 'don't do the crime if you can't do the time!'"

I can't do two things at once

A fact known to all men and universally discredited by women.
"The dog needs to go out, right away" she said, as he was balancing on the top of rung the ladder, not only changing the bulb but cradling the fragile glass globe. "And please take the towels out of the dryer, before they start to smell moldy."

"I can't do two things at once" he replied, but she could not hear him, polishing her nails, talking to her mother on the phone and finalizing the Etsy order for Kleenex box holders, reminding him... "I need you to tell me which of these patterns you prefer".

Elvis didn't do no drugs

An expression used to call someone on an obvious lie, prevarication or falsehood. A way of calling bullshit. Since it is now known Elvis did mountains of drugs, stating that he had always been clean would be obvious bullshit. Origin: Penn and Teller's show Bullshit, where the phrase is used to call bullshit on the various claims of creationists.
Mike: "Elton John invented rap music."
Bob: "Um, right, Elvis didn't do no drugs!"
