We'd get this job finished sooner if you two stopped mucking around. muck up = to harm irreparably through inept handling; make a mess: mishandle, mismanage
mishandle = to deal with clumsily or inefficiently; mismanage

Q: What's the difference between a goldfish and a mountain goat?
A: A goldfish likes
mucking about in
fountains.
If it's not obvious, you must swap the
m and
f for mountain goats.
