"Get Out of Your Cave And Smell The Coffee!" Many More Mixed Metaphors and Malaphors

Abstract

Not long ago, I volunteered to help a worthy cause as a consultant, pro bono. But the experience proved disappointing and frustrating. The panjandrums ignored or rejected my advice. Relating the sad tale to my friend, I griped: "They're turning me away even though I'm offering them gold on a silver platter!"
