That's more of a Yogi-Berra-ism than an oxymoron... examples of oxymorons are "jumbo shrimp" or "civil war".

I think I stuck 20 oxymorons in the following.....

Oxymorons are serious fun.

A wise fool or unpopular celebrity may have an unbiased opinion and have a love-hate relationship regarding divided unity.

It is a full-time hobby studying crash landings as some are deliberate mistakes.

I accidentally on purpose came up with a few amazingly awful oxymorons. It's a definite maybe and fairly accurate that this is not a full-time hobby.

This is a final draft of this joyful noise.

It is bittersweet as this old news is going nowhere. It was pretty ugly!!

One time Yogi ordered a pizza and the counter guy asked him if he wanted it cut into 6 slices or 8... to which Yogi allegedly replied:

"You better make it 6... I don't think I can eat 8"

While out on the motorcycle the other day I stopped by Humpty's in Knowlton to see this visual oxymoron. LOL


Humpty's always has great art work on their menus and windows.


I agree, it is well done for sure. The message is what gave me the chuckle!
