An Analogy Lacking Thought

My wife watches Robin & Company on CNN-Headline News frequently in the morning, so I often receive a dose of what headlines CNN considers most important (or probably most interesting to viewers to captivate the audience). In any case, Robin was off today (a common occurrence, for some reason), and Christi covered "what's on tap" (their words, not mine) for the show. One story is about a Cadillac Escalade found stuck on a pedestrian bridge in Minneapolis. While the story itself sounds entertaining, the analogy offered by local resident Ryan Miller of Miller Towing provided even more amusement. He acknowledged the difficulty faced with the removing of the SUV from the bridge by saying its like "Trying to get 10 pounds through a 5 pound hole." I would ruin the humor in this statement by saying anything more, but fortunately the misplaced vehicle was removed from the bridge. "Trial and error, all you can do. Try, and if it fails, try again, that's what we did," said Miller.
