Many moons ago, when I was writing sports for the local daily, I referred to the HS basketball team as "operating like a well-oiled machine." Now, I'm not claiming to have originated the expression, but I had never heard it before. The next evening, I heard a local broadcaster say that the college team was "like a well-oiled machine." My first reaction was, "Hey he read my article." My next thought was, "Hey, he's stealing my stuff." Anyway, I still hear or read about teams that are "like a well-oiled machine," and I allow myself a little smile.
