Best Answer

In the Southern US, one form of the phrase is
"When you are up to your [arse] in alligators, it is difficult to remember that your original objective was to drain the swamp."

The cautionary message is that becoming involved in a complex task needs careful planning and the provision for contingencies -- because once it is underway, you may find yourself dealing with new and unexpected problems. Here, the alligators are now necessarily the main focus, rather than the continuation of your planned task.

Why the smart arse answers?
