IF......(immediate help!) (absolutely nsc)
Feb 17th, 2010 at 7:25pm Alert Board Moderator about this Post! 
OK...my apologies for the irrelevance of this post. it's late, my kids haven't slept in about 9 months, and i'm a bit gassy from drinking "fresca" as of late (zero calories...the "summer of starbuck" starts in a few months and i want to look my best, goddamnit)....

i'm teaching a lesson on conditional sentences tomorrow and i need as many famous conditional sentences/quotes as i can think of. all i have so far are:

-if it ain't broke, don't fix it.
-catch me if you can.
-if you build it, he will come.
-if the shoe fits, wear it.

this has to be something very ordinary...something that a high school kid would recognize. i was thinking about using "if you come to a fork in the road, take it", but my kids will most likely not know who yogi berra is.

TIA.

If I hadn't had you three amigos, I wouldn't have had the opportunity to be without sleep.

If your Ma and Pa hadn't played footsies in the sleeping bag, you wouldn't be her to drive me crazy.

If it manages to go up. eventually it will come down

If I become President, you won't be paying any taxes.

If you play with fire, you will eventually become a fire bug (burn baby burn)

If there is 4 feet of snow, there will eventually be a flood

you want more?.....


If you will excuse me, I think I'll slip into something more comfortable

If you smile pretty, I'll buy you a chocolate.

If you just shut up for 5 minutes, I promise I'll take you to the movie.


If you clean your room today, Johnny can spend the night.

If you say you are right, I'll prove you are wrong.

If you can't think of them yourself, you really do need to get some sleep........

If I were a carpenter and you were my lady, would you marry me anyway? would you have my baby?

If I fell in love with you, would you promise to be true and help me understand?

If six turned out to be nine, I don't mind!

If the sun refused to shine, I would still be loving you.

If I could stick my pen in my heart and spill it all over the stage,
Would it satisfy ya, would it slide on by ya
Would you think the boy is strange?

come on! work with me here, people!

If life gives you lemons, make lemonaid.

If not for you, babe, I couldn't find the door
Couldn't even see the floor
I'd be sad and blue if not for you


If you ever go to Houston better walk right
Keep your hands in your pockets and your gun belt tight .

If dogs run free, then why not we
Across the swooping plain ?
My ears hear a symphony
Of two mules, trains and rain
The best is always yet to come
That's what they explain to me
Just do your thing, you'll be king
If dogs run free.

I remember when you started out,
You were the best friend i ever knew.
I tried to meet you when you had your success,
But you had better things to do.
Now i bet that you're losin' count
Of the people that you used.
But now we're gonna see the vicious side of you,

you're a beatles fan Bucky how about a Macca reference:


If you want it, here it is
Come and get it
Make your mind up fast

If you want it anytime I can give it
But you better hurry 'cause it may not last

does that last couplet count as two conditonal statements??

If a picture paints a thousand words,
Then why can't I paint you?
The words will never show the you I've come to know.
If a face could launch a thousand ships,
Then where am I to go?
There's no one home but you,
You're all that's left me, too.
And when my love for life is running dry,
You come and pour yourself on me.

If a man could be two places at one time,
I'd be with you.
Tomorrow and today, beside you all the way.
If the world should stop revolving spinning slowly down to die,
I'd spend the end with you.
And when the world was through,
Then one by one the stars would all go out,
Then you and I would simply fly away.

If you can't rock me, somebody will

If I was a movie star, five million dollars would be my price
If I was a trucker, I'd drive for seven days and seven lonely nights
If I was a drummer, I would never miss the beat
If I was a dancer, y'all would never see my feet
If I was a hooker, a thousand dollars would be my price
If I was a candidate for President, I'd make sure I had a steady wife
If I was a millionaire, I'd spend all my money in one crazy night

If you need me, Why don't you call me


If you really want to be my friend, Let me live it up like I used to do
If you really want to understand me, There's some giving up we got to do
If you really want to understand a man, Let him off the lead sometimes, set him free
If you really, really want to be my friend, Give me the look of love, not jealousy
If you really want to be my man, Get your nails out of my back,Stop using me
If you really want to understand me, I'll tell you something, love can't thrive on jealousy
