The People Have Spoken . . .
The results of the “should I or should I not use the hemorrhoid metaphor” were 50% in favor and 50% not in favor.
Obviously a clear and definite mandate to use my own judgment.
What a scary thought!
Here are some of the other mixed metaphors I used:
We have to get all our ducks on the same page.
I hope he gets his curve ball straightened out.
It’s time to step up to the plate and lay your cards on the table.
I’m sweating like a bullet.
I wouldn’t be caught dead there with a ten-foot pole.
It’s time to grab the bull by the tail and look him in the eye.
He’s a wolf in cheap clothing.
We could stand here and talk until the cows turn blue.
From now on, I’m watching everything you do with a fine-tuned comb.
I like the wolf in cheap clothing - especially when you consider that when said with the right accent the person might actually have said sheep.

If this appears twice, forgive me. It didn’t show up when I thought it would.
You used all those in one sermon? You want to send me a tape?
What I really want to know is what you’re going to do about the goatee?
Those are mixed metaphors? Boy, am I in trouble.
