Think of a phrase that has two separate meanings that form an Oxymoron and show it within an image. This is an advance challenge.

Some Oxymorons just off the top of my head=

Military Intelligence
Pretty Ugly
Flaming Hedrosexual
Soft Rock
Timid Aggression
Focused Spread
He She (for those in W. Hollywood)

My favorite has always been Dodge Ram trucks... which do you do when you drive up fast behind one? ;-)

Actually, A Dictionary of Wit, Wisdom, and Satire by Herbert V. Prochnow (and his son, Jr.) lists the perfectly useful:

Honest Politician: One who, when bought, will stay bought.

1. How do you make a slow horse fast? Take away his hay.
2. Have you ever seen a catfish? How did he hold his pole?
3. Fast food? What's there to eat?...Really?
4. Internal Revenue SERVICE?
5. Sophomore (i.e. "Wise Fool") Education Major...
6. The "seedy" side of town rarely plants a garden.
7. You drive on a parkway & Park on a driveway.
8. A Slow Lane on a Superhighway.
9. Do "Head Hunters" get the job because they cannibalize their companies?
10. The sign says, "Slow Children Playing", and you think, "Now that wasn't very PC!"
11. The sign says, "Dip in Road," and you think "Yeah, Yeah, Yeah! Same to you, Buddy!"
12. The sign says, "Fine for Parking," but you get a ticket anyway!!!!
13. Your Blind Date (again...not very PC) owns a seeing eye dog.
14. Your fiancee' FINALLY shows you his wooden leg,...(Let's Prepare! Are you sitting down?)...and you want to break it off! (That was a Dear Abby response from year's ago...I saw it reprinted in the Reader's Digest.)
Enjoy! Me? ROFLMGO!!!!!!!

Not really. A lawyer, very occasionally, can actually accomplish something useful....... it's rare, but it does
happen.

If I have a great tool for household cleaning, would it be more an oxymoron or more irony to say, "This vacuum really sucks!"? /;)
