Here’s The Story……
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 THURSDAY, people, stay safe,
and whatever you do, don’t forget to laff it up! Peace, I am outta here! Eucman! 😁

“Standing ovations have become far too commonplace. What we need are ovations
where the audience members all punch and kick one another.” –George Carlin
“There exists a widespread myth that humans should learn about sex from their parents.
My relationship with my father nearly ended when he tried to teach me how to drive.
I can’t imagine our relationship having survived his instructing me how to have sex.” –Bob Smith
Guaranteed to Roll Your Eyes
Tommy had reached school age. His mother managed with a blast of propaganda to make him enthusiastic about the idea.
She bought him lots of new clothes, told him of the new friends he’d meet, and so on.
When the first day came, Tommy eagerly went off and came back home with a lot of glowing reports about school.
The next morning when his mother woke him up, he asked, “What for?” She told him it was time to get ready for school.
“What?” he asked. “Again?” 😳😳😳
Monday’s’ Movie Trivia of the day! What movie is this quote from??? “
“Oh, Jerry, don’t let’s us ask for the moon, we have the stars.”
Answer: Now Voyager!
“Now, Voyager” is the kind of movie that used to be called a women’s picture, but that doesn’t describe what an entertaining picture this is, for anyone.
When Bette Davis’ charactor made the closing comment, it revealed that although she had long waited for her married lover, when she could finally have him, she wanted to continue her new-found life as a glamorous woman, no longer under her mother’s thumb. It stars Bette Davis, Paul Henreid and Claude Rains. It made famous Paul Henreid’s lighting of both cigarettes in his mouth at the same time, and romantically giving one to Bette Davis.

Monday’s Quizzler is….
A monk has a very specific ritual for climbing up the steps to the temple. First he climbs up to the middle step and meditates for 1 minute. Then he climbs up 8 steps and faces east until he hears a bird singing. Then he walks down 12 steps and picks up a pebble. He takes one step up and tosses the pebble over his left shoulder. Now, he walks up the remaining steps three at a time which only takes him 9 paces. How many steps are there?
