Today my boss said 'We don't want to recreate the horse here ...' when he meant to say 'reinvent the wheel'. I laughed a lot.

It's like Ben Franklin did a bunch of shroons before he wrote Poor Richard's Almanac.

Whatever gets you through the night, it's alright. Whatever gets you through the day, it's OK. Whatever gets you through the week, it's unique. Whatever gets you through the month... um... let me get back to you on this one Whatever gets you through the year, it's unclear.

With friends like you, who needs enemas?*
*Unless one is addressing a friend who rushed over with ex-lax when they heard you were having a digestive system malfunction. In that case it would be factually and grammatically appropriate.

The early worm gets eaten by a bird. I've seen this (maybe by Heinlein) as 'The early worm has a deathwish'. Probably in Time Enough For Love, in the part about The Man Who Was Too Lazy To Fail, but it's been a minute since I've read that. |
