A Jiggle Effort
Two people trying to be heroes, but it's more like two fools trying to save the world with a broom and a sandwich.
They tried to save the day. It was more like two kids trying to stop a traffic jam with a shout.
We both tried to rescue the dog. It looked like we were trying to wrestle a bull with a spoon.
They tried to fix the internet. It was like trying to catch a fish with a net made of spaghetti.
