Once said about the C programming language: "It gives you just enough rope to shoot yourself in the foot."

Damn you all :P,

Lol, that ones quite worrying.

Every dog has his 15 minutes of fame.

Lol, that ones quite worrying.

New one:
death is only the end of a eternity of sunshine

the end will come when the gray skies clear up

Don't count your chickens before they cross the road.

A rolling stone makes hay while the sun shines.

Too many cooks make light work

AH!, you must all have cookies !

The early bird gets the monkey's uncle.

The early bird gets the monkey's uncle.
Mmm Hmm, that's true.

birds of a feather often create lighter work of the early bird.

Don't cross the road, if you can't get out of the kitchen.

People in glass houses sink ships.

Speak softly and carry more birds in the hand than you can shake a stick at.

You're barking up both ends of the wrong stick.

You're barking up both ends of the wrong stick.

No smoke without a silver lining

Life is a mere dream, a fleeting shadow on a lemon

can i have a cookie just for pointing out that 90% of the "cross metaphors" so far arent actually metaphors?

Alls well that gatherers no moss.

But it works better the other way

A rolling stone gathers ends well.

No. Pointing out the deficiencies in my English is like stealing candy from a big flat bloke who's looking the other way.

Crosses are like cosmonauts, you never know when you'll find one burning in your front yard.

Not quite what you were looking for, but I couldn't resist the obvious pun, and I just came up with this...

Crosses are like cosmonauts, you never know when you'll find one burning in your front yard.

Okay, that one made me laugh out loud. And reminded me of something which seems relevant here:

Burning airlines give you so much more.

I'll try to think of an original one, though.

if aesop were alive to read these phrases hed roll over in his grave!

I can't believe that people haven't suggested the ultimate mixed metaphor yet....

of course, if it has already been given, it's someone elses fault.
