Excuse me sir,
but your shoelace is untied,
I hope you won't hate me,
but I lied.
Yes sir,
I realize lying is wrong,
but----
Yes, yes sir,
no sir---
yes, I understand,
but please don't
be so angry.
I just wanted
to tell you to
watch out for tha---
ooh yeah that.
See, look at what you've gone
and done,
got your bits of brain
all over my new
Chanel blouse.
See, don't you see
now?
I was just trying to
keep you from having
a crane smashed down on you...
but no
Mr. Lying-is-bad-holier-than-thou-businessman
had to get all pissy,
just because
your shoe wasn't really
untied
