Shirky Principle 

The principle in which institutions, or any organization, will try to preserve the problem to which they are supposed to be the solution.

(In reference to Author Clay Shirky (born 1964), an American writer, consultant and teacher on the social and economic effects of Internet technologies and journalism.)
The IRS is a Shirky Principle organization. It will never attempt to totally get rid of tax evasion, even if it could, because the IRS needs to be maintained for reasons to find tax evasion.

Female: "Meet me in the bathroom in 30 and I will shirken the shit out of you and me, Stud!"

Shirk and Jerk

To avoid doing work while on the clock whilst taking care of one's needs. Less euphemistically: to jack off at work.
I was feeling really stressed at work today, so I locked my office and closed the blinds for a good ol' shirk and jerk to relieve my tension before the board meeting. Totally killed the presentation!
