Avoid bad clichés like the plague.

Really. When life throws you lemons, make lemonade. Just don't let life throw stones if you live in a glass house. Or rocks, for that matter. If you do this, you must be dumb as a box of rocks.

Come off it, big shot. You've got a feather in your cap, you're drunk as a skunk, and you're ugly enough to make a freight train take a dirt road. Get a move on! Time is of the essence. You're a little too close for comfort.

Just remember, all that glitters is not gold. So put up, or shut up! Don't make a mountain out of a molehill. Let's face it, No good deed goes unpunished. After all, A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush. Mark my words.

Ah, that was like a once in a blue moon breath of fresh air. Now while you go take a long walk off a short pier, I'm going to eat like a horse. In two shakes of a lamb's tail, I'll kick up my heels, then pull an all-nighter like a bat out of hell. Knock on wood.

That's about the long and the short of it.
