This morning as I listened to the radio to keep from falling back asleep after my alarm went off but before I could drag my sorry excuse for a carcas out of bed to force it into yet another day of work [breathe], I heard quite the interesting little radio commerical. It’s for the local rodeo thing they do every summer here in the Springs. This year’s theme is “Break from the Herd.”
So what did they do to represent this? They had a bunch of sheep baaa-ing. The announcer said something like, “Are you sick of following other sheep? Then break from the herd!” And I was like, Hey, that would be possible…you know, IF SHEEP CAME IN HERDS!
Which makes me wonder: Does this qualify as a mixed metaphor, or is it just people are too dumb to know what the flock sheep come in?
