Sometimes the right words are ALMOST there...

"I'm caught between a rock and a stone."

"It's like being a monkey with chickens on your back!"

"Are you too blind to remember?"

"Anyone could go to that person and say, 'I need a bell on the side of the elephant.'"

"He has too many fingers in the dike."

"It's like an engineer falling out of a building."

"Smooth as pie."

"I have no idea what that is. Thank goodness we didn't order three!"

"The active part is there, the proactive is not."

"Same crap, different fork."
