Hail Caesar, we who are about to die salute you.
and my favourite;
Na illigetimus non carborundum.
Don't let the b*****ds grind you down.

Nah nah mate, you'll be right, I've flown er (x*)kg overweight heaps of times..
(Where x= >10% above MTOW)
Don't bother using flaps for the take-off, you've got heaps of runway, and it just wears out the flap tracks.
