WELCOME to Tuesday January 29, 2013.
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 to it! Have a great Tuesday people, and whatever you do today, don’t forget to LAUGH IT UP! Peace I am outta here, Eucman!

QUOTES OF THE DAY
“A survey found that 61 percent of people are more afraid of outliving their money than dying. The other 39 percent have already outlived their money and have faked their own death to avoid creditors.” -Jay Leno

“Wal-Mart made plans to hire 100,000 U.S. Veterans. Which can only mean one thing: Wal-Mart is going to invade Costco.” -Conan O’Brien

“Cirque du Soleil just announced that it is cutting 400 jobs. So on the downside, hundreds of clowns will lose their jobs. But on the bright side, it’ll free up, like, two spaces in the parking lot.” -Jimmy Fallon

G U A R A N T E D T O M A K E Y O U L A F F….
My father and I belong to the religion of Sikhism. We both wear the traditional turban and often encounter strange comments and questions. Once, in a restaurant, a child stared with amazement at my father. She finally got the courage to ask, “Are you a genie?” Her mother, caught off guard, turned red in the face and apologized for the remark. But my dad took no offense and decided to humor the child. He replied, “Why, yes I am. I can grant you three wishes.” The child’s mother blurted out, “Really?”

Monday’s Movie Trivia of the day!‘ How much movie trivia can you answer?
What movie is this quote from??? “It’s funny to think that just a year ago, I sat in that Knightsbridge pub actually planning to murder her. And I might have done it, if I hadn’t seen something that changed my mind.” “Well? What did you see?” “I saw you”.

Answer: “Dial M for Murder” (1954) was directed by Alfred Hitchcock. Tony Wendice (Ray Milland) has lured C.A. Swann (Anthony Dawson) to his apartment under the pretence of buying Swann’s car, however his real aim is to coerce Swann into murdering Wendice’s wife, Margot (Grace Kelly). Wendice needs the money – Margot’s a rich woman and her husband would be the beneficiary on her death. Swann is a shady, untrustworthy character with a past. Wendice hopes that he can persuade Swann to murder Margo whilst Wendice is in a public place thereby providing him with a cast iron alibi. But, as usual, things don’t go entirely to plan.

Tuesday’s Movie Trivia of the day! ‘How much movie trivia can you answer?
What movie is this quote from??? “You know, I seen you a lot of times before. Remember parochial school, out on Paluski Street? Seven, eight years ago. Your hair, you had your hair…” “Braids.” “Looked like a hunk of rope. And you had wires on your teeth and glasses and everything. You was really a mess.”

Monday’s Quizzler is……….
Justin Case and Auntie Bellum are fellow con artists who deliver coded messages to each other to communicate. Recently Auntie Bellum was put in jail for stealing a rare and expensive diamond. Only a few days after this, Justin Case sent her a friendly letter asking her how she was. On the inside of the envelope of the letter, he hid a code. Yesterday, Auntie Bellum escaped and left the envelope and the letter inside the jail cell. The police did some research and found the code on the inside of the envelope, but they haven’t been able to crack it. Could you help the police find out what the message is?

This is the code:
llwatchawtfeclocklnisksundialcirbetimersool

ANSWER: The message was “loose bricks in left wall.” The message was put backward with words related to time in between.

This is how the message looks when separated:
ll watch awtfe clock lnisk sundial cirbe timer sool

If you take out watch, clock, sundial, and timer, this is what is left:
llawtfelniskcirbesool

Look at this backwards and this is what you have:
loose bricks in left wall

Auntie Bellum took out the bricks and escaped in the night. Then, she put the bricks back where they were
