I just read a quote from Robert Downey Jr where he said, “You know, you’re never too old to burn your bridges because I believe I have offended everyone… I’ll burn that bridge when I come to it is my favorite phrase I’ve ever coined.”
I’ve never loved you more, Robert Downey Jr, than when you’re eating Burger King and sticking it to the man. This brilliant advice is appropriate for HR, Corporate America, and life in general. I’m using it.
I’ll burn that bridge when I come to it.
It’s almost as good as the f@$% it, we’ll do it live mantra that I’ve incorporated into my life.

Robert Downey Jr — ur my Punk Rock HR hero.
I love me some RDJ too! On crack. Off crack. I’ll take him. And now I too will use his mantra.
Also, in general, I like any saying that uses the f-bomb.
F-you and the horse you road in on.
F-it if they can’t take a joke.
and one this old I guy I used to work with would say when our bosses were acting particularly stupid:
It’s like 3 monkeys trying to F a football. (Not really sure what it means, but always cracked me up.)
@Suzanne OMG, I’m using the monkeys & football thing right NOW.
He is completely hawt. Why do you always bring the fan girl out of me? Not like it’s hiding that well but you know what I mean.
he’s livin off the leash, that’s for sure. hero material!
One of my personal favorite saying at a particularly screwed up person or situation is:
“This is as F$%#$ed up as a football bat.”
Check him out in the latest Rolling Stone! For sure a case of getting better looking as he gets older. Luved him in Ally McBeal!!
Personally, I like call a tactical nuclear strike on my bridges.
One of my favorite sayings is “I have shit in one hand and hope in the other… let’s see which one fills up first.” That one always cracks me up.
