      for those who may not know what it is....no its not a person who takes a particular precription drug, (Rush)

      "awfully good" job
      "Fine Mess" you got us into
      "pressing the start button to turn it off"

      Oxymorons......lets see them

      Faster, Better, Cheaper

      Revised to:
      Faster,Better, Deeper

      Context: The motto of NASA mission planning and development around the 1990-2000 timeframe. After creating a few pieces of space, planetary debris, and more than one unintentional crater "we" corrected it by changing cheaper to deeper.

      Good example of an oxy-moron:

      Everything is so random there must be a pattern.

      military intelligence

      less is more

      deafening silence

      One of the better crafted ones I've ever heard came from M. Python in the "Trial of Attila the Hun Sketch".
