Little Schemer Mugs

"Are there any security cameras in the basement?"

'Sure, I took your shovel. Ethics doesn't kick in for a year or two.'

'No, you can't use your last wish, to wish for another three wishes!'

'Why don't you leave the planning of our wedding to me?'

"If anyone should ask, I was in my doggy bed from 7 p.m. to midnight. Understand?"

"Boss, there's a rumor going around that someone lost a $1,000 bill in the cafe. There are like 200 people out there." "Interesting. And I assume they're all looking for the $1,000 bill. I assume they don't want anyone else to know about it before they find it." "I assume each of them is buying our food and drink so the others won't suspect they're here with ulterior motives." "I wonder who could have possibly spread such a rumor in the first place?" "Very bad man."
