It really should have read: The Reverend moons many flower children, the followers on butt one Rev. Moon.
Okay, gotta change the panties about now… think I laughed so hard I peed!
“You buttered your bread. Now you’ll have to sleep in it.”
“There’s been a lot of spilt milk under the bridge.”
“This thing is snowballing like a house afire!”
You can lead a horse to water but you can’t make it a duck.
Hey Byz: When in Rome, air your dirty landry(or wet panties) in public. Speaking of Rome, it wasn’t built on clay feet in a day at the beach, you know. It’s all Greek to a blind horse. Spare the rod and spoil the milk. With the faith of a molehill, you can make mountains out of mustard seeds. The early bird gets the wormy apple. Let him who is without sin cast the first vote.

one of my favorites, from the great lyricist Sting:
“packed like lemmings into shiny metal boxes.”

My favorite malapropism is from Archie Bunker.
“That’s about as funny as a rubber crotch”
If he were alive today, he’d be turning over in his grave.
And one of my favorite song lyrics, “A million lemmings can’t be wrong.”
I was at a corporate training session once and the presenter used the phrase:
"married at the hip"
to express her committment to an idea.

Necessity is the mother of strange bedfellows.
Some of these above aren’t so much mixed metaphors as mixed up metaphors, malapropisms, puns, and solecisms. A pure mixed metaphor is, “Soon we’ll iron all the bugs out of this problem.”
Useless as a chocolate teacup!!!
