Management Aphorisms?

When the Greengrocer stopped selling citrus fruit, was he really ‘getting out of his kumquat zone’?

When the Dean of Ely unilaterally decided to rearrange the
baptismal area in the cathedral, was he really 'not wanting to talk about the Ely font in the room'?

When the seamstress was paid 20 US cents for the underskirt she stitched, was she really 'creating a pair of dime shift'?

No matter 'how hard you push the envelope', it will always be stationery!

Does the bomb disposal officer really believe his job 'is not an exercise in box-ticking'

When Andrew Lloyd Weber walked into the 'Over the Rainbow' studios at the BBC to find the next Dorothy, was he really 'joining all the dots'

Does an Australian confectioner always have a 'candy attitude'?

When the militant shop-steward at the adhesive factory tragically fell into the mixing vat was it a case of him 'not being part of the problem but becoming part of the solution'?
