You could do your level best to avoid them like the plague, and they will go against your grain for the most part. Absolutely. Without trying to lay it on too thick, you might say that they may very well turn out to be an albatross around your neck, even if you have the sixth sense to keep them at arm's length, twenty-four-seven.
It has been called a long shot, but often the best course of action is to play it as it lays, according to Hoyle, and in the final analysis to make a clean breast of it, across the board. Once in a great while you may find you have to choose the inside track and bite the bullet; that is, unless there is a smoking gun to think about.
Nevertheless, you can avoid being called a wet blanket, or being caught on the horns of a dilemma, by keeping your nose to the grindstone, never mind that you may be hoping against hope that nothing goes beyond the pale to ride roughshod over your hitherto clean bill of health.
The bottom line is, basically, don't try to push the envelope and find that you have to undergo a baptism of fire in the process.
Because, all things being equal, those damn clichés can do an about-face to play havoc with your best-laid plans, and then add insult to injury.
