Lifesavers.

 She almost gave him a heart attack.

The life you save might be your own.

Once bitten.

 Sometimes you just go with what you have.

With only a beak as armament, their choices are few.

Plugged nickel.

 You can lose nothing, because...

It is worth exactly that.

Coin of the realm.

 They appear to be behind it one hundred percent,

Far behind it at minimum safe distance.

Zero sum game.

 He and the System were made for each other.

It was ever thus.

Charge it.

 He's less advanced than a robot vacuum.

Grin and Berra it.

A Yogi can't write a prescription,

But he can catch a perfect game in the World Series.

The Duellists.

 Like the lady who went for a ride on a tiger.

She had a view from the inside.

Feeling a little flat.

 Chairside service is included.

Also covers routine maintenance.

There is no free lunch.

The Path Not Taken.

 Practice makes nonsense if done correctly.

Simplicity itself.

Legal loophole.

 Next time it's to the guillotine.

And amazingly, he was in the Tower of London.

Price vs. Value.

 As Oscar Wilde observed, "A cynic knows...

"The price of everything and the value of nothing."

Urbanized.

 Try the internet: Available everywhere.

The disappearing brick and mortar.

Flypaper.

 Would that be David Hedison or Jeff Goldblum?

Cue "Flight of the Bumblebee."

Crete and Epimenides.

 That's an alternate fact, truly.

Call it Truth Plus.

A case of transference.

 Duane bashing is popular thereabouts.

At least in the non-violent form.

Caught in a seine.

 It could have been worse.

She might have been named Champagne.

Girls' sports.

 She has an unfair advantage.

Girls do mature earlier than boys, after all.

 

 

For example.

And Generalissimo Francisco Franco...

Squid game.

 She will hold out for calimari.

Arms and tentacles are for suckers.

J.M. Flagg Day.

 One, if by land...and that pretty much covers it.

Uncle Sam Warns You.

Timed out.
