I was born on a pirate ship with a bunch of apples

If you say this with your mouth stretched horizontally apart using your fingers and your tongue sticking out, it will sound like you are proclaiming that you were born on a pile of shit with a bunch of assholes.

While this existed long before Barenaked Ladies, they reference this action on the cover of their album, "Born On A Pirate Ship". The kid on the cover is saying it.
Jokester kid, with tongue out and mouth stretched: I was born on a pirate ship with a bunch of apples
Younger kid: HAHAHAHAHAHA

A phrase one might say after saying, "But there is good news ..."
Billy: You're mom's dead, you're dad's a homo and I raped your sister . . . but there is good news.

Bob: What's that?

Billy: I just saved a bunch of money on my car insurance by switching to geico . . .

A phrase you should promptly say for comedic effect in any setting where someone is seeking feedback on something but there is a pregnant pause...
Presenter: So, does anyone have any thoughts on this planned organizational change?
...tic ...tic ...tic ...tic
"I just saved a bunch of money on my car insurance by switching to Geico"
laughter ensues, pressure is relieved, feedback session is over and everyone can get the hell out of there...
Or Icy stare from management, you are summarily fired a few weeks later for some drummed up offense...

On the bench

Between client engagements.

IT consultancies are companies who make their money by sending out their employees (programmers, DBAs, business analysts, etc.) to do software projects for their client companies, usually on-site at the client's office.

An employee who is "On the bench" is not on-site, but is sitting back at head office waiting for billable work. They might be doing something useful like self-training or working on an internal system, or they could be just slacking off and editing Urban Dictionary.

But either way, IT consultancies make money by billing their clients for the hours that their consultants spend there, so being "on the bench" costs the company money.

Being on the bench isn't the same as being unemployed - a person on the bench will still get their monthly salary. However, it may lessen their bonus or feed into decisions for who gets laid off. Consultants understandably become worried that nobody wants their skills if left on the bench for too long, especially if other consultants are in demand.

The phrase comes from an analogy from team sports like football or basketball - some of the team are on the field playing, and the rest are sitting on the bench waiting for their turn to go out and play.
John has been on the bench since he rolled off the Megacorp billing system project last week.
