2. The infinitely malleable "I'm a ________, it's what I do."
3. The broader "that sounds like a good idea, too bad it'll never work."
4. Jadzia and slang. Always a personal favorite.
5. Julian's blatant egotism. Ditto.
6. The more subtle 2293/2305 bloodwine and fat-free gagh joke. Does anyone else really find this amusing?
I thought there was also one about there always being coffee in that nebula. Could be wrong.

Anyway you're forgetting:
7. Always make references that are so obscure that, even if they're not incredibly brilliant or even particularly apt, whoever gets them will feel especially smug about themselves for noticing them at all.
8. And there's always my fallback: Person A: I thought we were doing [Sensible thing]. Person B: Moron, that would mean we couldn't do [Stupid thing]! Person A: My mistake.
