This thread just made me think of Norm Crosby, the King of the Malaprop.

He was a funny and very clever man.

Almost as funny as Mistri's squirrels!

...somebody forgets something should come out of the oven, so over there it's been "too many cooks burn the biscuits!"

@QueenDanceALot

LOL!  Good one!   In Handsome's family, it would be something like, "Too many cooks start a fight!"

This reminded me of one of my Dad's favs, "Too many Chiefs, not enough Indians," which he used for everything from the PTA to the county construction crews to Congress!

No, no, no.  If you're going to say it, say it right ----

"Too many cooks spoil the pudding."

Oh wow!  That's a blast into the past!   I liked him a lot...

Norm Crosby...

LOL @mistriTsquirrel!   Yeah, that's what he looked like before the fight!   You should see him now!  He doesn't look so overconfident now!
