    I decided to go for a light post today. No Data Governance or Analytics allowed on the Friday of a long weekend! Enjoy, and add in others if you have them. Not all of these are original, but many are.

    This isn’t rocket surgery
    There’s no place like Rome
    When in Rome, do as the Romanians do
    I’m just talking out loud (also Lauren)
    Walking on thin air
    Skating on thin air
    Treading on thin ice
    Hit the wall running
    Birds of a feather gather no moss
    Burn that bridge when we come to it
    Just water over the bridge
    Death by a thousand paper clips
    Up a tree without a paddle
    Up a river without a leg to stand on
    Wake up and smell the roses
    Two’s a crowd and three’s company
    Stop and smell the coffee
    Don’t punch a gift horse in the mouth
    Can’t lead a dead horse to water
    It’s first and ten and we’re swinging for the fences
    He took a shot in the dark and hit a grand slam
    Give him enough rope to hang by a thread
    They’re selling like hot potatoes
    I don’t give a flying rat’s ass
    A punter’s chance in hell

    We could stand here and talk until the cows turn blue.
    We have to get all our ducks on the same page.
