WELCOME to FRIDAY AUGUST 29th, 2025

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 WONDERFUL WEEKEND people, stay safe,
and whatever you do, don’t forget to laff it up! Peace, I am outta here! Eucman! 😁

While doing a crossword puzzle, I asked for my husband’s help.
“The word is eight letters long and starts with ‘m’, 
and the clue is ‘tiresome sameness.'”
“Monogamy,” he answered. 😮😮
