Not That Anyone Cares But...

[Bowyn Aerrow]

Not that anyone cares but... man who holds wolf by ears soon has less balls.

not that anyone cares, but....

Holding the tiger by the ears is the Roman equivalent to today's 'holding a tiger by the tail'

It's a metaphor for a situation where trying to extricate yourself might be fatal. You have no option but to hang on and continue in circles - let go and the tiger will catch you, or in my case, let go of the wolf's ears and I end up sans balls and most likely sans life as well.

==========================================

Tigers, Wolves, Bears:

have a tiger by the tail and have got a tiger by the tail; have a bear by the tailFig. to have become associated with something powerful and potentially dangerous; to have a very difficult problem to solve. You have a tiger by the tail. You bit off more than you could chew. You've had a bear by the tail ever since you agreed to finish that big project.

What few people realize is that the mess that my life is in currently is a no win situation. I have way to many irons in the fire, and not enough energy to deal with it all. I'm juggling too much, and the stuff I'm juggling is fire torches, running chainsaws, razor sharp sabres....

The choice is not if I will lose or win, its a no win situation - the choice is when am I just going to let it go and get the losing over with.... :tongue:
