Oxymoron

[terryandrene]

Turtle shared a list of his favorite oxymorons on another thread that discussed the expiration of a "permanant" resident card. I've enjoyed a good oxymoron since first hearing George Carlin discuss Jumbo Shrimp and Boned Ham. Here's a link to an amusing site called OxymoronList.com Their top twenty list among "countless numbers" of oxymorons is:

I got a chuckle out of "pretty ugly" and "head butt" being together. Yes, I'm THAT juvenile.

Seens like "Army Intelligence" and "Senate Ethics" Committee should be in the top 1 or 2.
