"Up To Your Ass"


"Up To Your Ass"
One thing I remember about a former boss of mine was that he would always use parables when he was trying to explain a process or a procedure.  This was one of his favorites: 

"When you are up to your ass in alligators, 
it is difficult to remember that your
initial objective was to drain the swamp.

I took a very narrow cabinet door, found at Habitat for Humanities - RESTORE Store, and filled it with scrabble tiles to spell out the saying.  I used vintage yard sticks to frame the door. (PS: the misspelled word has been corrected - can you find it?)  (click on image to enlarge)

 2/16 OK - I FIXED IT - THE FIRST PICTURE IS THE  CORRECTED ONE.
