    I have a funny but amusing mixed metaphor story.

    I must have been thinking both about “how the sausage gets made” and “where the bodies are buried”. But what I said was “I know where the sausages are buried”.

    Fortunately I was talking to a guy on the board I'm friendly with. And not like a PTA meeting.

    The whole reason we call them illegal aliens is because they’re subject to our laws.

        Yes, that would've been really funny. 😀

          Especially if 5 of the moms started looking nervous.
