You ever hear someone say, "The ball is in your court"? It's like we're all playing some giant cosmic game of tennis, and I didn't even sign up for this tournament. I thought I was just trying to get through life without hitting the net.
But no, apparently, there's a ball, and it's in my court. And now I'm thinking, what if I don't want the ball in my court? What if I'm more of a chess player? I don't need a ball; I need a queen who can move in any direction.
And let's talk about these courts. Are we talking about a tennis court, a basketball court, a court of law? Because, honestly, I'm not prepared for any of those scenarios. I can't even get a decent serve in Wii Tennis.
So, next time someone tells me the ball is in my court, I'll just reply, "I prefer mini-golf, where the ball is in everyone's court, and we're all just hoping it doesn't end up in the water hazard.
You ever feel like you're caught between a rock and a hard place? I mean, who decided that these were the go-to options for being stuck in a tough spot? Rocks and hard places sound like terrible vacation destinations.
I imagine a travel brochure: "Escape to the breathtaking Rock Resort, where every room comes with a complimentary hard place to contemplate your life choices."
And why is it always a rock? Can't we upgrade to at least a pillow or a marshmallow? I'd much rather be caught between a marshmallow and a soft place. I could use the comfort.
So, next time someone tells me I'm caught between a rock and a hard place, I'll just say, "Can we compromise and make it a pebble and a moderately inconvenient spot? I'm not asking for much, just a softer dilemma.
You know that saying, "Don't count your chickens before they hatch"? I've been thinking, who are these people counting chickens anyway? And why do they have so many chickens to keep track of? I can barely manage to count the number of unread emails in my inbox.
I imagine someone sitting in their backyard, surrounded by eggs, going, "One chicken, two chickens, three chickens..." Meanwhile, the eggs are just staring back, thinking, "Hey buddy, we haven't even decided if we want to be chickens yet. Give us a break!"
And let's talk about the hatch part. Have you ever tried to hatch an idea? It's like waiting for a chicken to do your taxes. You're just sitting there, hoping for some kind of financial miracle.
So, note to self: next time someone tells me not to count my chickens before they hatch, I'll just say, "Don't worry, I can't even count my change at the grocery store.
You've heard the expression, "Give it the whole nine yards," right? What does that even mean? Are we talking about fabric? Football fields? The length of my to-do list?
I don't know about you, but I'm a minimalist. I like things simple. I don't want the whole nine yards; I'm happy with six, maybe seven at most. Give me a solid six yards, and I'll call it a day.
And why stop at nine? Why not the whole ten yards? Or a hundred yards? It's like they're just throwing out numbers to see how much we can handle. I can barely handle a five-yard radius without tripping over something.
So, next time someone tells me to give it the whole nine yards, I'll just say, "Can I give it a compact three yards and a manageable garden gnome? That seems more my speed.
