Thanks taller8. Let's keep them together with the other ones so here are George Carlin's oxymorons
• Mandatory options
• Mutual differences
• Non dairy creamer
• Open secret (how about this one for magicians)
• Resident alien
• Silent alarm
• Sport sedan
• Wireless cable
• Mercy killing
• Lethal assistance
• Business ethics
• Friendly fire
• Genuine veneer
• Full time daycare
• Death benefits
• Holy war
• Waste of time
Magic is not a performing art where people don't know how situations are reached, it's the art of showing parallel dimensions that can't be reached

Magic is not a performing art where people don't know how situations are reached, it's the art of showing parallel dimensions that can't be reached

This interesting one is a tautology rather than an oxymoron

Your manuscript is both good and original; but the parts that are good are not original, and the parts that are original are not good.
- Samuel Johnson
