It's well done, but I find it hard to stay interested since they cut down to just 13 episodes per season. |

Today Ernie will try to guess these cliches being demonstrated by celebrities. Here's characters from the TV show "The Big Bang Theory." Ouch! That's Sheldon and Penny. The cliche is "Penny Pincher." This photo of the 2008 World Champion Philadelphia Phillies is sliced right up to the second baseman. Chase Utley --- The photo is "cut to the chase." A comedian with a career spanning decades is being covered with gold. Lily Tomlin --- "Gilding the Lily"! And this "Pirates of the Caribbean" star is making a long-delayed appearance here ... I know! I know! Johnny Depp ... "Johnny come Lately"! |

Frank, you're partly cut out of this picture! Kids these days know their gadgets but nothing about where food comes from. I hired a kid to work on the farm and that photo is what I got when he heard the word "crop." |

Ernie made a couple of new year's resolutions --- to cut down on his little fibs and to focus on building his career. Your new resume says you were a "Theater Director"? Sure, you remember I was an usher. "Experienced white collar worker"? My job at the dry cleaner. Ernie, you were never a "circuit judge"! I inspected electrical work. Well, at least he's keeping one of his resolutions, so he's doing better than most of us! |

Kindergarten. No, arts and crafts is not difficult. I meant "I have my work cut out for me" literally. I'm not allowed to use scissors. |

And we add lots of dollops of mustard! That's your bite-size summer special? Yeah, they're itsy-bitsy, teenie weenie, yellow polka dot paninis! |

Robot League Baseball. The player upgrades are great this year! New batteries and antennas will increase our home runs and decrease strike outs. They'll hit with more power, yet still make consistent contact! A software patch will cut down on errors. And the catcher's signs are encrypted now so they won't get stolen. Even with all that stuff, the most important upgrade is organic, grown in a biology lab! Yeah, every member of the pitching staff has a live arm! |

F&E Marketing and Advertising. Election years are the hardest! It's tough to sell guys like this new political client. To begin with, he has IRS problems. Let's says "He's an experienced tax-cutter." He also took bribes to pay off his debts. That's great! We'll spin it that "he knows how to balance a budget!" He gave public sector jobs to unqualified family members. "He's lowered unemployment." And he has high unfavorable ratings across the political spectrum. Perfect! We'll call him a "true uniter!" |

Circus. It's been fun working with these circus performers on their financial planning. Those clowns are serious savers! Yeah, they've cut expenses by carpooling. The highwire walker wants a portfolio with a mixture of stocks and bonds. Having balance is her highest priority! And the lion tamer is interested only in very safe investments --- He has zero tolerance for more risk in his life. Our last meeting today is with the trapeze artist. What is your net worth? Every penny it cost! |

The phrase "pushing the envelop" came into common usage after Tom Wolfe used it in his book "The Right Stuff." We was describing test pilots with exceptional courage who were expanding the limits of flight. Ernie wants to become a test pilot and people ask me if he has the right stuff. Unfortunately, his level of courage can best be described by saying ... Ernie is unable to push the envelope because he's terrified of getting a paper-cut! |
