Proverbs With a Twist
This week, just some simple humor:
A first grade school teacher in Virginia had twenty-five students in her class. She presented each child in her classroom the first half of a well-known proverb and asked them to come up with the remainder of the proverb. The imaginative replies from some of the children astonished her. Here are the proverbs - along with the rather remarkable replies
Don't change horses -- until they stop running.
Strike while the -- bug is close.
It's always darkest -- before Daylight Saving Time.
Never underestimate the power of -- termites.
You can lead a horse to water but - how?
Don't bite the hand that -- looks dirty.
No news is -- impossible
A miss is as good as a -- Mr.
You can't teach an old dog new -- Math
If you lie down with dogs, you'll -- stink in the morning.
Love all, trust -- Me.
The pen is mightier than -- the pigs.
An idle mind is -- the best way to relax.
Where there's smoke there's -- pollution.
Happy the bride who -- gets all the presents.
A penny saved is -- not much.
Two's company, three's -- the Musketeers.
