That brings to mind my favorite clap back song ever.  Mostly because of the age in which it was written:

No meme.  Because back when these were written they called memes "bumper stickers" cheeky

How to Avoid Mixing Your Metaphors
 
It’s not rocket surgery.
First, get all your ducks on the same page.
After all, you can’t make an omelette
without breaking stride.
 
Be sure to watch what you write
with a fine-tuned comb.
Check and re-check until the cows turn blue.
It’s as easy as falling off a piece of cake.
 
Don’t worry about opening up
a whole hill of beans:
you can always burn that bridge when you come to it,
if you follow where I’m coming from.
 
Concentrate! Keep your door closed
and your enemies closer.
Finally, don’t take the moral high horse:
if the metaphor fits, walk a mile in it.


Brian Bilston

One should be careful when mixing metaphors.  It can tend to snowball like a house afire.

 

always mix my metaphors: it's like killing two stones with one bird.

You forgot to tell them the nickname. If they can restore a Big Boy, I hope like hell they restore a Big Blow.

Union Pacific's gas turbine fleet totalled 55 locomotives.

The first turbine, No. 50, was built by Alco-GE in 1948 and was tested extensively on UP in 1949. 

844 was a steam locomotive. And is still in used as a tourist attraction. Big Boys are a larger version. One is call 4014

But the Turbine ones are also called Big Blows with 8500 HP.
