Dropped Like a Hot Potato

A friend once told me that his girlfriend had dropped him like a hot potato. I told him that he was probably better off, since it sounded like she wasn't very bright and pretty clumsy, if she had him confused with a potato and dropped him. Plus, if that's how she handles all her food, I wouldn't want to eat any of her cooking, 5 second rule or not.  Some people aren't very good about being sanitary in the kitchen.
