Joke: A man went to confession in his local
church. He had a video recorder in his arms.
"Forgive
me, Father, for I have sinned. I stole this video recorder as I can't afford to
buy one. Would you take it from me please so I won't feel so
bad?""Certainly not," said the priest. "You must return it
to the person you stole it from."
"I
tried to give it back to him," said the man. "But he refused to take
it back. Oh, Father, what should I do?"
The
priest thought for a minute and then said, "If what you say is true - that
the man refused to take it back - then it is alright for you to keep it for
your family."
The
man thanked the priest and hurried off. When confession was over the priest
returned to
his
residence. When he entered his living room he discovered that his video
recorder had been stolen.
to be a piece of cake
If
something is a piece of cake then it is very easy.(But what is a piece of cake
to one person can be very difficult or confusing to another!)
Paul:
Jane, I don't understand how to work this video camera - these
instructions aren't very clear. Can you help me, please?
Jane:
No problem. Let me see ... oh, it's a piece of cake, Paul. All you do is
push this red button first, then push the blue button twice, and that's it.
Paul:
It might be a piece of cake to you, but I still don't understand it!
to
cost an arm and a leg
If
something costs an arm and a leg then it costs a lot more than you would expect
it to.
If
you use this idiom it gives information to the people you are talking to - that
the price is a
lot
more than you would expect to pay.
For
example, if you take a taxi home on a Bandh Day it will probably cost at least
double
the normal rate. If you think it is too much then maybe you could use this
idiom.
Or,
maybe your washing machine breaks down on New Year's Day and you call a
plumber
(that's the person who installs and fixes washing machines, toilets, sinks,
etc.).
They
will probably charge you a lot of money -I'm sure it would cost an arm and a
leg!
