hi stervius, and welcome.
I think you might have heard something like "a Scyllian choice", which is a reference to the Greek legend that is the origin of the expression noted by of Troy - between a rock and a hard place. The rock-dewlling monster was Scylla and Charybdis was a whirlpool: sailing the strait between them indeed left Odysseus no good options.
Hi new poster stervius, welcome and stick around.
And Maverick, you must take care with whom you credit.
Your slip of miss-crediting of troy and and not properly crediting Miss Consuello might make being "between a rock and a hard place" seem like a piece of cake.
