Here it is! My version of essay number 1.
I hope you like it. =]
Just for kicks here is an all cliche composition.(note: this may contain malaprops as well)
At the eleventh hour, I was at the end of my rope. It was as plain as the nose on my face, my efforts were as useless as tits on a bull. I was a babe in the woods with my back against the wall. It was time to get back to square one and quit grasping at straws.
Back at the drawing board, I beat the street trying to build a better mousetrap. It was time to think outside the box. I needed to catch a falling knife so that I could laugh all the way to the bank.
"For Pete's sake," I told the investors, "Don't get your panties in a wad"
"I'll bring home the bacon, and soon you'll have more than two nickels to rub together.You'll have money coming out the wazoo, and we'll be raking it in. Let me sweeten the deal by asking you a $64,000 dollar question. Is there such a thing as a free lunch?"
"Time is money, and eating lunch takes time, so, in a word. No"
"Good, I'm glad you second that.Let's get down to brass tacks, and talk cold turkey. I like the cut of your jib. Let's put this deal to bed. As you can see there's gold in them thar' hills"
"If you think we're giving you any greenbacks, you're a few sandwiches shy of a picnic. We didn't just fall off the turnip truck we were born on yesterday. You're about as sharp as a marble."
So that was the big fish that got away. Now I don't have a pot to pee in, or a window to throw it out of.
