Our former department head was famous for his malaprops.
Here are his greatest hits:
• The Greek pyramids weren’t built in a day.
• Spurt me out an e-mail.
• Let’s not put the horse before the cart.
• Tonight we’re eating at the Tibetian restaurant.
• It’s not rocket surgery.
• It’s all smoke and windows.
• Nothing is nailed in stone.
• Sometimes you have to roll the dice, and it comes up tails.
