paint yourself into a coroner

Derisive expression to mean dat ya either kept unwisely flappin' yer gums to da point dat ya got suspected of offing someone, or messed up yer prospects of landing moderately-desirable employment, and thus da only local job-position left was a cadaver-examiner in a morgue.

Pleading da Fifth or maintaining a responsible behavior-pattern may indeed be a drag, but doing so means dat you'll be less likely to paint yourself into a coroner.

Get the paint yourself into a coroner mug.

Godwin's corollary

Godwin's Law: "As an online discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches one."

Godwin's Corollary: No matter what the topic, any topic, e.g. Tiddlywinks, and the discussion grows longer, Trump will be brought up because anyone you don't like is literally Hitler and fascism.

"Tiddlywinks is a great game to pass the time. We play it all the time in Somerset."
"It's great you have the time. We have to deal with Trump. And the fact that you are not speaking up means you are probably a fascist too."
"Ah Godwin's corollary and Godwin's Law. A two for one simpleton."
