I wish I'd seen this when I was at work - I could have effortlessly used those two words in our team meeting.

I didn't see cats. I think they would be the sure winner, therefore I went with the blue one next to the fish.

Sorry, world domination is not possible at the moment, or in any foreseeable future.
The property title for the world has already been awarded several years ago, to a friend we call "The Master of the World".

So any attempt at world domination will be handled as copyright violation and be punished very severely.
We have a supply of dented coffee spoons and are ready to use them in torture by dismemberment.
Alternatively, you could be subjected to endless hours of forced listening to *add yer own damn unbearably crappy music artist(s)*.

EDIT :
Please note that if you plead guilty, we might be kind and only use the axe depicted in the avatar over there :
