"I know these are swing-for-the-moon opportunities, but I think we should pursue them."
😂 H/T to Mike Colias, of the Wall Street Journal's Detroit bureau, for his fun story about Mike O'Brien, a recently retired Ford sales executive, who since 2014 kept a log of mixed metaphors and malaprops uttered in company meetings.
Over the years, O'Brien filled six whiteboards with 2,229 linguistic flubs like "Let's not reinvent the ocean" or "too many cooks in the soup" alongside the name of the offending colleague.
"We weren't being mean," O'Brien told the Journal. "It was just funny."
