Samuel Goldwyn was famous for his oxymoronic statements. Some examples are:
"A hospital is no place to be sick". Or,
"Every Tom, Dick and Harry is named Sam"! Or,
"Anyone who goes to a psychiatrist ought to have his head examined".
This past Saturday I heard another good one. This time not by Sam Goldwyn but from a football commentator during the BYU- Utah football game (known as "The Game" in these parts).
By halftime, Utah was putting a thumping on BYU. The radio broadcast team was discussing what Utah needed to do to maintain the lead and advantage for the second half. One of them spoke up and offered this:
"Utah needs to maintain the reckless abandonment they have been playing with...but they need to keep it under control".
Apparently the team took his advise, became confused and blew a 24-3 halftime lead. Luckily, they overcame their "controlled reckless abandonment", and won the contest 41-34 in overtime.
Ask a man a question, he'll give you an answer; Give that man a Blog and he'll spew for the rest of his life.
