I must be naughty. At the break round table in our department I had one rather dense fellow in tears arguing the all white mice where simply ordinary mice painted white. Getting coal might not be so bad at all these days.

Just a fun thread to collect cliches. So post your best cliches. I am sure you'll give 110% in your effort, and you'll leave no stone unturned while you're looking. You may just have to take the bull by the horns, and try to be as busy as a bee.

You have to be female and you have to be White or Asian. Looks like a black male never stands a chance to get a decent IQ score then. I guess, I can live perfectly fine without it.
