Plan B Forum

I was composing an email to someone and at one point realized that I had written, "They will have to eat their words if they hear right from the horse's mouth that they have the wrong end of the stick on this."

For a second I wondered whether I had been transported into that episode of Bewitched where Endora casts a spell on Darrin that makes him speak in nothing but clichés.

Cliches become cliches because they contain a common truth.

Hmm. There's more to this than meets the eye.

I need to chew on this one before I hazard a guess.

Good. Run it up the flagpole once you've digested all the details.

You need to start thinking outside the box, Scooter.

I cried because all I could think to write was cliches until I met a man with no feet.

Yeah, Joe, that happened to me once too. I figured that was a good opportunity to walk a mile in his shoes.

I think you people are all wet, and your comments aren't worth the paper they're written on.

Hurry up Scooter, time and tide wait for no man.

Since no man is an island and still waters run deep, is no man in imminent danger of becoming a drowned rat?

Walk a mile in his shoes, and then he is barefoot and a mile away. There are two kinds of people in the world, me and everybody else.

Is that the motto — in Russian, of course — on Trump's coat of arms?

Ob-la-di, ob-la-da.

I can assure you that no-one cares about this sort of thing around here. Yes siree Bob: that dog don't hunt in this neck of the woods.
