Behind the eight ball

Apparently it’s been around for decades, but this phrase seems to turn up a lot more often lately. But the worst was last night on Design Star:

“I’m so far behind the eight ball, it’s miles away and I need to catch up to it and move ahead of it.”

:smack: Um, no.

Thank goodness he was eliminated.

Get the behind me, eight ball!

Is it sad that I think this is the funniest thing I’ve ever seen on the Dope?
