For those impossibe jobs that customers want unrealistic changes (eg, edit type on a flattened Tiff file - yes, it happens), I stole this line from "Little Britain",

What's the problem? "OHS" Operator Head Space

I can turn chicken shit into chicken salad, but it'll still taste like shit.

I can make a silk purse from a sow's ear, but its a damn small purse!

I told all three owners at the same time a few weeks ago that I couldn't work late because my band had a gig that nite. You shoulda seen their jaws hit the floor! On Monday the big bad foreman dude pulled me right into his office to reprimand me. Man, that was awesome!

This is why folks need to organize/join a union. Our contract says that we must be given 48 hours notice of required overtime. Any less notice and they don't dare reprimand us for turning it down. A lot of workers fought and died to gain the right to collectively bargain with the employers.

I'm sorry I'm not feeling to psychic today!

I'll call the psychic-prepress-hotline....

Sure I'm an alchemist, I turn shit into gold.

No matter how you cut a turd, it's still a turd.

We don't have a flux capacitor on our press.

While I'm doing a hundred other things why don't you stick a broom up my ass so I can sweep too.

This is one that usually gets me:

Prep-"What jobs do you wanted plated first?"
Pressman-"Plate them all."
