[Ads-l] The juice isn't worth the squeeze.

[Jonathan Lighter]

I've heard talking heads use this phrase several times lately

1982 _Sun_ (Baltimore) (Feb. 20) 10: I believe the inconveniences and
distortions of the auto emissions inspection law easily outweigh the
alleged benefits. The juice simply isn't worth the squeeze.

Etc.
