Re: COMMON

Philip,

This was a reference to an earlier conversation where Don suggested he was
the boy who pointed out the emperor had no clothes. I suggested he was the
boy who cried wolf.

Close, but no sheep.

Don does the same - complains and complains (he thinks the emperor is
naked, but it is just a wolf)

I don't mind mixed metaphors in fact sometimes they can be quite humorous, but
mixed parables (emperor's new clothes & wolf in sheep clothing?) - that is a
new one!
