Up to my a** in alligators

Posted by WordCrafter on January 13, 2004

There's a US expression that goes something like this:
"When you're up to your a** in alligators, there's no time to remember you're there to drain the swamp". Do other parts of the world have a similar expression -- with maybe a different animal?
