*facepalm* "Oh, hey, can you solve the world's most complex problems for me before Tuesday? They're kinda becoming an issue. Oh, and bring me some coffee while you're at it. Thanks!"
"I've failed my English and Sociology classes. And Korea doesn't seem to be going well." "Mrs. Thomas, I'm afraid your car is totaled. And Korea doesn't seem to be going well." "My harddrive melted down and I lost everything. And Korea doesn't seem to be going well."
I was thinking more along the lines of the ridiculous punchline to to-do lists (such as Rumsfeld's foreign policy to-do list in the email):
"I have to finish this project by Tuesday, and now my boss wants me to also draw up a new plan for X and I have to call the plumber because the sink is clogged and I don't know when I'll have time to find a birthday present for mum. And Korea doesn't seem to be going well."
To poke fun at your own sense of "Woe is me, I have too many problems to solve and too much to dooooooo!"
