Mixed metaphors

As the workday began today, my supervisor "Jan" went on a ranting, incoherent tirade about everyone working right up to 3:25, leaving only 5 minutes to clean up and wrap up loose ends. After all, according to her, "It's only fair, because some of you are standing around 10 minutes waiting for the bell to ring, you know, while others are running around finishing their work. You know, it's only fair to all."
(I think that she then wanted to say "What's good for the goose is good for the gander," but instead, a sudden fit of cranial rectosis set in. Open mouth, insert foot!)
"...You know, if the shoe fits, then put it on, but if it doesn't, then throw it in the garbage, you know?"

...Must... not... laugh... in Jan's... face.... Must... master... emotions... Can't... help it-- WAAAH-HAH-HAHA-HAH-HUH-HA!
