"When Baldacci is on fire, no one can touch him" - Booklist.



This doesn't quite qualify as a mixed metaphor, because it isn't mixed. It's two bits of figurative language that don't clash when put together; they work better, although in a completely unintentional way.

Booklist saw fit to publish it, and his publishers saw fit to put it on ads in the subway.

I just find it hilarious.
