Exqueeze me for bumping in, but I just got these misinformed platypi from my DNRC newsletter and thought I'd pass them.
"It's an exercise in fertility."
"Hindsight is 50-50."
"Just use your own excretion."
"You are never going to fail unless you try."
"We're scraping the bottom of the iceberg."
"Today is like the day Rome was built in. We can't afford to have any fiddlers."
"The project is going down the toilet in flames."
"He might be barking at a red herring."
"You're treading on thin water."
I think he meant we should cross our T's and dot our I's but it came out this way: "Be sure we all cross our eyes."
"He's as deaf as a bat."
"We don't want to stick our necks out and get our asses chopped off."
"I gave him a real mouthful."
"I really took the bull by the hands."
"He doesn't know his hole from an ass in the ground."
"You should talk to her. She is a minefield of information."
"I can't remember but it's right on the tip of my head!"
"You can lead a pig to pearls..." and then he trailed off.
"Thanksgiving is early this year because the first Thursday fell on a Monday."
"The skeleton is there. You just have to sharpen it and put the decorations on the tree."
And this last quote, which may or may not have come from Osama: "We need an escape goat."
