Sorry Baron - I'm at work - it's part of my mindset while I'm here to try to confuse people - makes me seem cleverer!

That's one of those designed to make your head burst when you think about it.
There's a few like that, as well as ones that are more obvious but downright bizarre. Here's a few I can recall sitting here now that I've heard or used during any given day in the working life of slippy:


colleague1: "I heard that creative pitch with {client name} didn't go too well - was it really that bad?"
colleague2: "Mate, it was like a monkey f***ing a football" !!

colleague3: "A profitable venture? Heck - it's like a gravy train with biscuit wheels" Mad!

colleague4: "I'm sure he said the deadline was Friday morning"
colleague5: "Really? Wasn't he more specific and said 11am on Friday?"
colleague4: "Yeah, same difference" WTF??

colleague6: "How come you look so refreshed this morning - I hate this hotel"
colleague7: "I'm fine. I slept like a baby" What - crying, sh*tting yourself and wailing for mummy????

Totally nuts - the lot of 'em....

ive never heard "monkey f#@ing a football" & "biscuit wheels" before, but the other 2 & "taken as a given" make perfect sense to me!

"I think they're both one side of the other."

WTF
Thought I'd resurrect this thread...
Doing some things for a client at work yesterday, I found a few oxymorons online (as opposed to just morons) and figured we could guess how many of these the Baron's mother has used before:

Exact Estimate
Live Recording
Alone Together
New Classic
Silent Alarm
Plastic Glass (pints)
Standard Option

.... there's too many!
