Turn of phrase

There's been some amusing twisted phrases out of Rancho Clumsy this week:

Talking about a new acquaintance, I referred to not knowing this bloke "from a bar of Adam".

And Greg surprised himself while discussing how his success at study will require a good deal of personal responsibilty, saying "The University's not going to organise my balls".

He meant to say "the ball's in my court", but the tennis analogy got lost somewhere along the way (Don't even ask why Greg has balls on the brain).

Seriously, with this kind of literary awkwardness, we could write a Kath and Kim episode.

Anybody else got some sterling examples of clumsy speech?
