Your favourite mixed metaphor

"We raised it to new depths" - maybe appropriate in reference to Caro.

 

"The [censored] is going to hit the roof."

This happened to a mate of mine when he was trying to get up from his bed to vomit after a house party. For whatever reason he got out of bed by standing on it and then vomitted and shat at the same time, somehow getting vomit all over his bed and floor and a decent amount of sh!t on the ceiling. We still have no idea how he did it.

On the mixed up clichés theme rather than the mixed up metaphors one, an old supervisor used to say "In all honestly..." before almost everything because he was an idiot.

If a tree falls in the woods, does it crush Shrodinger's cat?

HAHAHAHAHA you have made my day, that is the best thing I have ever heard... Keeping on theme shouldnt it be "If a tree falls in the woods, does it cruch Heisenberg's cat?

 

After receiving the 2007 Norm Smith Medal, Stevie Johnson said "We can't rest on our morals."

Steve Johnson has been an aspiration to me also.

That isn't a mixed metaphor.

No, but the saying is 'you're as useful as [censored] on a bull', not 'useless'

So fits in the theme of the thread

Ha. Wonder if the AFL investigated him for it.

Sam Goldwyn should have told Tippett that

"a verbal contract isn't worth the paper it's written on ".
