Cut the Mustard

I tried out for a talent competition once.  One of the judges told me that I just couldn't cut the mustard.  I looked at him oddly and said, "Well, I wasn't trying to cut mustard, I was demonstrating my ability to yodel 'The Farmer and the Dell' backwards while juggling on a unicycle.  Besides, cutting mustard would be a rather silly thing to do for a talent competition, anyway."  I didn't win.  Some people just have no taste for talent.  Stupid Simon Cowell.
