Scene: "Back to the Future" on a giant screen on the quad.

Biff: Why don't you make like a tree and get outta here?
Guy sitting nearby me: What? That doesn't make any sense. Trees don't go anywhere. They're in the ground.

AHAHAHAHAHAHA.... didja look at him and ask him if he was being sardonic?

I would have. And if he responded with "what's sardonic" and "no" followed by an explanation of why his is a legitimate statement... then I might have stared, blinked a bit, then walked and sat next to someone else.

It has always bothered me that, if one beats it, one is making like one who is preparing an egg for consumption, and not making like the egg itself.

I always liked "make like a ball of horse shit, and hit the dusty trail." But I think the speaker in this post didn't get the point of the line, really.
