Yes.10 intarnetz to you. I like when jokey idioms we think are mined out yield tittersomeness. I'd put that one in the shoemenders category. You know, the one where we find "Time wounds all heels. I will mend your wayward soles." Etc. Ambigous phonemes for the win.

There's one I'm desperate to get into a serious essay one day,about Hume shooting himself in the foot with his own fork.

CrikeyYou must be a philosopher, no? I could be wrong, as I base this on induction only. Which Hume said was all there was. But at which conclusion he didn't arrive by induction. So his fork-in-the-road bifurcation of possibilities into inductive and valid, or non-inductive and for the fires of sophistry and illusion, was untenable by his own lights. So he shot himself in the foot with his own fork.
