This was inspired by another thread elsewhere and forgive me (relative newbie that I am) if it's been covered already but do any of you enjoy mixed metaphors? What might be some of your favorites? One of mine is:
"No one hits a hole in one on their first time at bat."
Think it came from a "Dilbert" cartoon...

To be, or not to be: that is the question:
Whether ’tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles...

A cartoon I saw once - a pontiff walking out of the forest with a roll of toilet paper.
