In the same vein as these Farberisms:

Don’t eat with your mouth full
Don’t talk with you mouth open

Both of which I’ve heard used, unintentionally, multiple times.

I personally like/use all the time:
* Let’s make like a tree & get the f*ck out of here (Wayne’s World I believe)
* Does the Pope sh*t in the woods?

PS. Did you get a chance to read my email on your Bookmarklets import file updates?

This is called mixing your metaphors. Take two metaphors (not enough room to swing a cat & there’s enough space to turn a battle ship) mix: not enough room to swing a battle ship. Which, now wrong, sounds correct and therefore is humorous.

google: impermissible mixed metaphors

They remind me of my dad and his work colleagues gentle humor.
