Shoe by Gary Brookins and Susie MacNelly for July 11, 2023

Metaphorically speaking…..

If you can’t stand the heat… stay out of the battlefield!

And don’t cross your bridges before they hatch.

It’s brain science!

And do as I say …

Shoe, be careful your tongue is untied. You might trip over it.

It’s hard to use metaphors around kleptomaniacs

They always take things, literally.

Why do vultures never check their bags on an airline?

They prefer carrion.

My wife is a metaphorical alcoholic

She wines so much!

It’s time to grab the bull by the tail, and face the situation.

Its also not brain science.

That’s what I always say!

Rocket surgery? That would be quick and painful.

“You’re preaching to the horse’s mouth!”

Harmony, form the TV show Angel.

Even a blind squirrel is right twice a day.

Anybody else here miss the days when the New Yorker magazine would fill columns with amusing tidbits gleaned from other publications, including one called “Block that Metaphor?”

Or a Brain Scientist!

Easier said than upsetting the apple cart!

I think that Shoe should follow his own advice.

It’s neither rocket science nor brain surgery.

writing well is as easy as cake…

I actually like that one.
