Why did Yoda cross the road?

One morning, I get flooded with birthday mails, and I reply to the mails, thanking everyone, and finishing my mails how I usually do, with the Star Wars Phrase "May the force be with you".

A mollag comes in reply for that saying this is April, not May, so it would be "April the force be with you". This agitates a certain mollag maniac, who messages me on the office messenger, and starts shooting mollags as he cannot send replies, since his office is paranoid about employees sending external mail.

The end product is a list of phrases that Yoda might have used in different circumstances, or with different people, which goes something like this: ( Note that the list below is not exhaustive, and lots of new nonsense can be added to it..)

1. Stockbroker - May the bourse be with you
