Mix Master P

Probably the single greatest mixed-metaphor I ever heard came during a convocation address by Minnesota Governor Tim Pawlenty. The Governor said:

When life throws you curveballs, embrace them.

Ouch. I'm not sure how many baseball players have ever actually tried to hug a curveball, but I think that most of them would agree that it's a bad idea. Not as painful as embracing a fastball, granted, but still a bad idea.
