Oxymora

All of my readers should be aware of the fact that I like the written word.  I'm becoming an English teacher after all.  So sometimes I like to mess around with things like riddles, word puzzles, oxymora, anagrams, panagrams, and ambigrams.  This week I've been coming up with a short list of oxymora for my readers to enjoy.  Many of these struck me at work, or in my down time.
With no further hesitation and even less formality: 36 of my favorite oxymora (already submit to one of my favorite wordplay websites BTW)
