Politicians, doctors, lawyers, and others say they aren't able to quickly and simply solve a problem or resolve an issue because they "don't have a silver bullet." And I just heard one say he doesn't have " a magic bullet" (whatever that may be); sometimes they phrase it as they don't have a crystal ball. Excuses such as these seem a little lame and counter-intuitive, don't they, because when is the last time you heard someone claim to have an answer because they possess a silver (or magic) bullet or a crystal ball? They may as well say they don't have an easy answer because they don't own a vintage Mercedes or they were never in the kitchen with Martha Stewart.

okay, that's sort of funny, in a George Carlin "Why do they say get on the plane... I prefer to get IN the plane" kind of way.
