Greek As Linguistic Underwear
a: Greek ~
b: underwear
What: "A good preacher once said that Greek is like underwear. We ought to use it for support, but not wear it on the outside." This is reference to studying the Gospels which, of course, were written in ancient Greek. I've always thought that Biblical Literalists should be studying and reading the Bible in the original Greek. If they believe that these books are the inspired word of God, then reading them in translation is absurd.

Round Up For Your Cells?
a: Chemotherapy ~
b: a weed spray
What: "Chemotherapy is like a weed spray. The goal is to kill all the weeds and stop them from coming back without killing the grass underneath it. Next week they will sample Ainsley's bone marrow again to see the weed/lawn levels. The fact that Ainsley's platelets and ANC have improved so much shows that the lawn is regrowing and the weeds are retreating."
