No matter how thin you slice it, it's still bologna.

That reminds me..."Even a blind squirrel finds a nut once in a while."
Some more good ones:
"Poor planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on mine."
"The light at the end of the tunnel is an oncoming train." |

SW: Poor planning reminds me of the 6 Ps.
P*ss Poor Planning Prevents Proper Performance 
Some others:
lush and verdant, like a lush and verdant meadow
mist, like a misty meadow
Once heard a story about a lady's product like a hair roller or something that was called Mist in English speaking countries. Was marketed in Germany and didn't do so well. Turns out in German Mist means dung. 
Also:
You CAN get there from here! To all those pessimists! |
