Some useful phrases to use as an Evil Overlord as given by Steve Meredith. These humorous cuts were originally listed as useful phrases to use around work but they probably only work well if you are a Evil Overlord(TM).

Yarr, I can probably work at least the first one into a meeting with opposing counsel at some point... once I'm actually busy again :P Damn post Christmas slowdown in litig. And there's a plaintiff that the second one would fit really, really well...

Really, though, these all read like one-liners from House.

Actually, #2 would fit a not-so-insignificant percentage of the first world's population.

If I did it your way, that would leave nothing left for you to do, and I wouldn't want to put you in that position.

I hear that the road to success is paved with failure, and thus I feel compelled to ask you: Exactly how much success are you aiming for?

If you are correct, that would make every person to comment on the subject prior to you, a complete idiot.

I could be wrong, and you could be right, but what are the odds of both happening at once?

I am very impressed that you think you understand how to do my job, especially given that everyone that has ever done this job, gave up all pretense of having the vaguest notion of how to do it.

I would gladly trade you, your 8 years of higher education, your wife and kids and your house too, for one paying customer. Alas, I have no takers on that offer. Do you have a sister?
