I LOVE these. Funnier the longer I think about them. Almost serious or useful then just completely out of left field.

itsvondell you can take one man's trash to another man's treasure but you can't make it drink runtime-error Fun fact: the blending of idioms or cliches is called a malaphor. My personal favorite is "We'll burn that bridge when we get to it." chromalogue I'm rather fond of "It's not rocket surgery" and "not the sharpest egg in the attic," but my all- time favourite is, "...until the cows freeze over." bowtochris You've opened this can of worms, now lie in it.

I always liked "Not the brightest bulb in the fridge" but I've also heard "coldest frog in the pot" means stubborn, but I'm not sure that's a malaphor.
