Colloquialism: Sittin' In The Catbird Seat. Twisted Saying: We park in a driveway and drive on a parkway. Please, your contributions! (I'll wait 'til the cows come home... (ha ha)

Colloquialism: "I'm busier than a long-tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs"
Bumper Sticker: "Caution: I brake for insects"
And my favorite t-shirt quote was one that my son used to wear: "I put the FUN in dysfunctional"

Colloquialism: I'm busier than a one-armed paper hanger. (Having dated someone who was a paper hanger, I now understand the origin of this one.)

Oxymoron: Military Intelligence (trust me, it's run by the Marines, this is an oxymoron).

Bumper Sticker: Get a taste of religion, lick a witch.

"If you start a storm you'll get a hurricane", "the man digging the ditch gets dirtier than anybody else", "hatred is like poison-it contaminates what it is poured on as well as the container it is stored in".
