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 HAPPY TUESDAY and a great Thanksgiving week people, stay safe,
and whatever you do, don’t forget to laff it up! Peace, I am outta here! Eucman! 😁

“I have tried to know absolutely nothing about a great many things,
and I have succeeded fairly well.” –Robert Benchley
“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?” 😳😳
