WELCOME to Tuesday, September 6, 2011. Mixed Metaphors…………

English professors love to catch the errors
students make in their term papers, and they love nothing better than to catch
mixed metaphors. The “friends and survivors” of Calvin College
English department collected this list of mixed metaphors and posted them on
their web site:
“He swept the rug under the carpet.”
“She’s burning the midnight oil at both ends.”
“It was so cold last night I had to throw another blanket on the fire.”
“It’s time to step up to the plate and cut the mustard.”
“She’s robbing Peter to pay the piper.”
“He’s up a tree without a paddle.”
“Beware my friend…you are skating on hot water.”
“Keep your ear to the grindstone.”
“Sometimes you’ve gotta stick your neck out on a limb.”
“Some people sail through life on a bed of roses like a knife slicing through butter.”

That’s my story and I’m sticking too it! Have a great Tuesday people and whatever you do, don’t forget to LAUGH IT UP! Peace I am outta here, Eucman!

“My girlfriend and I are talking about getting married. She keeps asking me if I

“A new study found that heavy drinkers outlive non-drinkers, but the ways they die
are a lot more embarrassing.” -Jimmy Fallon

“A company in Britain has created a car that can be powered by human waste. It’s

for gas.” -Jimmy Fallon

At a posh Manhattan dinner party, a Latin American visitor was telling the guests about this home country and himself. As he concluded, he said, “And I have a charming and understanding wife but, alas, no children.” As his listeners appeared to be waiting for him to continue, he said, haltingly, “You see, my wife is unbearable.”
Puzzled glances prompted him to try to clarify the matter: “What I mean is, my wife is inconceivable.” As his companions seemed amused, he
floundered deeper into the intricacies of the English language, explaining triumphantly, “That is, my wife, she is impregnable!”
