crossing the humber bridge

Similar to crossing the Delaware, (i.e. oral sex going between vagina and anus) but more locally defined as going from the fishy bit to the shitty bit.
My husband obviously likes driving at work, he always tells me how much he enjoys crossing the Humber Bridge several times a day.

Tacoma Narrows Bridge

A fetish among STEM lecturers. Found in nearly every engineering related slideshow, this works as a perfect example for resonance, amplitude, wavelength, harmonic motion, unstable process, twisting motion, finite element analysis, CFD simulation, aerodynamics, calculus I, calculus II, calculus III, miscalculation, general relativity, or the meaning of life. A link leading to a video of the wobbling Tacoma Bridge can be added to any presentation to fill out empty space. Sophisticated students may even use it as an academic source in their Master's thesis.

A bridge too far

Taking on more than you can likely achieve, particularly too many tasks.

While it can imply a long-shot, it connotes more an idea of striving to do more than can be achieved, rather than striving to do a thing that is unlikely to be successful.

The previous definition by "A solid cube of tungsten" had a good historical reference, but the particular example was not quite on point: "The story behind it is that during WWII in 1944, the Allies came up with a plan (Operation Market Garden) to use paratroopers to secure three bridges over three key rivers behind enemy lines in The Netherlands. British forces would then rush forward across all three bridges to relieve the paratroopers, and later push into Germany itself.

It was an extremely ambitious plan. A British commander is alleged to have said “I think we may be going a bridge too far”, and he was right. The American airborne divisions were able to capture the first two bridges, and were relieved. But the British and Polish paratroopers at the third and final bridge at Arnhem were basically wiped out before tanks of the Irish Guards could punch through to reach them. Market Garden was an operational failure."
Modified from the first example:
Person 1: “I’m going to try to finish the essay the morning it’s due, play a round of golf, and then ride my bike to school to drop it off.”
Person 2: “I think that’s a bridge too far buddy...
