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.
