“You can’t squeeze blood from a turnip,” I said into the phone, “and yes, I know it’s supposed to be blood from a stone, but we’re well past that stage, don’t you think; besides, I’ve never been any good with either the legalities or the metaphors surrounding the crushing of the individual spirit, although I kind of like the song Money For Nothing by Dire Straits, if that’s any help - but it’s not, is it?”

I’ve always been partial to “Lawyers Guns and Money”.  Care to cue it up?

You’re supposed to be able to get something from a turnip.  Or not get it.  But I know there’s a turnip metaphor somewhere.

(My favorite mixed metaphor of all time came from my ex-husband:  Well, you’ve opened that can of worms, so now you’ll have to lie in it!)
