When did you last see it raining cats and dogs?

Skinning cats, swinging cats - somebody really had it in for our furry friends at some point in history.

Still, I suppose they DO have a habit of sleeping on VX soft tops and cr@pping in the engine grille, so there may be a point to this.


PS. There is also the one about "a fool and his money ...", but that's more of a truism when it comes to VX owners. ;)

I had a boss once who kept getting confused. He was the one who invented the phrase "Up a gum tree without a paddle" Made my week that one...

A cliche that for once, makes a little sense: "The toes you step on today just might be connected to the ass you kiss tomorrow". But more of those that don't: "it's a dog eat dog world"...er..no it isn't...dogs are not cannibals (well they eat each others sh*t...maybe that counts) "Never pet a burning dog"...er...no sh*t Einstein "don't finger your food"...now that's just plain dirty! "food for thought"...must just refer to americans

Or maybe I should try throwing up a smokescreen to cover all these little red herrings. Oh dear, now I'm mixing metaphors as well as cliches. Still, coals to Newcastle and all that...
