- And It's Gone

Use this when someone does a stupid, careless, or self-defeating thing that predictably causes an obvious bad outcome. The joke works as a sharp reprimand: name the behavior, then answer it with a sarcastic 'Do you want X? Because that's how you get X.' style consequence.

- Nothing To Do Here
Use this template for jokes about quietly escaping a mess, awkward moment, responsibility, or consequences—especially when the speaker may have caused the problem and is now pretending to be uninvolved.
