Entertain me!

How many ways to fill in the blank are there?

________ broken, add more ________


My co-workers might like "Brain" and "beer".

Canonical 'no really, don't do this!' would be "Relationship", "people" - where this can mean lovers and/or children depending on the type of (romantic) relationship.

Bad project managers might like "Project" and "people". For extra fun, after the project was supposed to be done!

Anyone?

Economy broken, add more money?
Government broken, add more layers of bureaucracy?

Not that I'm anywhere near as cynical as these two statements make me sound - I'm just tired. Oh, wait...

$person broken, add more spoons :)

The version for children I've seen is "Relationship broken, make more people."

I have no clever today though.

Given the current state of my life, I'll go with
schedule, commitments
Sadly, this applies to both work and not-work.

No, no, it's not "project" and "people", it's "project" and "managers"... at least it seems that way too often at my work :P

Recipe broken, add more chocolate. Or garlic. Or... whatever.

The difference between this and most of the variants on this theme is that a broken recipe might well be fixed by more of a particular flavouring :)
