good things come to those who wait
(dont good things come to those who DO SOMETHING?)


don't put all your eggs in one basket
(Tell that to refrigerator manufacturers)

don't let the bed bugs bite
(if they wanna bite, they will...)

it's not the heat it's the humidity
(would you rather be in the middle of a fire, or a sauna?)


A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush
(why would you want a bird in your hand?)

better late than never
(tell that to most employers)


you can't judge a book by its cover
(yeah, well theres not really another option when making such a purchase)

Cute thread MsH...

I have always thought the one

Easy as pie was kind of strange. To make a good pie is not easy.

Money isn't everything.
(Tell bill collectors that)

God can't steer a parked car.
(Is God a licensed driver, and if so, which state)

Lays....betcha can't eat just one.
(I ate half the bag last night)

A nod is as good as a wink to a blind horse.
(Why on earth would you want to do either to a blind animal)

Too many cooks spoil the broth.
(Can no one make a decent meal)

Every cloud has a silver lining.
(Can't say I have ever seen one)

Two wrongs don't make a right.
Two is company threes a crowd.
What goes up must come down.
If you cann't stand the Heat get out of the Kitchen.

My ex said, "What was his was mine."

A watched pot never boils
(Course not..it's whatever's in the pot that needs to boil)

The Latch String's Always Out
(Probably more popular during the frontier days)

Lightening Never Strikes Twice In The Same Place
(Has anyone ever seriously researched this?)

Driving Like A Bat Out Of Hell
(Is a bat out of Heaven a safer driver?)

It's As Easy As 1, 2, 3....
(Does this mean that 4 thru infinity are much harder to do?)

Unless you're a fruit fly...they love taking a swim in vinegar!

There are some good ones on here.

The bird in the hand, though, I believe is with the idea that once it's in your hand, it can then go into a stew. . . .

Loved the one about flies and crap.
