Old Sayings Confusion

[Fozzie Bear]

Hey, gang!

An idea hit me from this thread here (http://forum.muppetcentral.com/showthread.php?p=251742#post251742) when I saw a post by GelflingWaldo which read:

But I try not to judge a book before it hatches, and I don't count my chicken by their cover.

And I almost posted this in the same thread:

Never book a judge by its cover.

But, that was going to take the thread WAY off topic, so instead I thought, "Wouldn't it be a fun game if we were to mix-up old sayings and confuse folks with them?" And then I responded and said, "Yup, it might."

Now, I'm on medication for talking to myself and answering, but I suppose we might be able to have some fun, so post away!

Hm. Not many people seem interested in this thread Fozzie. Maybe you were barking up the wrong tree without a paddle.

But I do have a good, and thought provoking, one from Star Trek: Lefler's Law #32: "If life hands you lemonade, don't try to make lemons out of it."

I head a good one on a rerun of "I Love Lucy". Here it is...

Don't cross your chickens before your bridges is hatched.

Well there's this offensive one that I really don't believe but it falls under this category:

Just because I'm dumb doesn't mean I'm blonde.

Again, being blonde, don't appreciate it, but I thought it was a funny twist of words.

Pardon?

There was one that Vibs invented when she was about 7. "A bird in the hand is worth more than 854 cats dwn your pants."

And I think that says it all.

Those Were Great!!!!!

These Are Old Sayings Some New Some Old.(They Are Not Messed Up Though)


A bad hair day
A bird in the hand is worth two in a bush
A bolt out of the blue
A chain is as strong as its weakest link
A coward dies a thousand deaths, a brave man dies but once
A day late and a dollar short
A dead ringer
A diamond in the rough
A diamond is forever
A drop in the bucket
A face only a mother could love

[MeepBorkMeep]

11. A face only a mother could love

There's always "A face only a mother could love if she was blind in one eye and had that sort of milky film over the other."

[super muppet]

A Chain Is Only As Strong As Its Weakest Link But The Weakest Link Is Only As Strong As The Metal Its Made Of.

[Beauregard]

There's always "A face only a mother could love if she was blind in one eye and had that sort of milky film over the other."
Hehe. Nice one.

"A bad day hair."

*wonders what deeper meaning that may have*

[super muppet]

If A Diamond Is Forever Then Are Rubies And Garnets Forever Too???

[Beauregard]

"Tea for two" and backwards "Two for tea."

Wait...taht still makes perfect sence...let's tr that another way:

"Tea for two," and backwards, "Owt rof aet."

And yes, this post was brought to you by the letter T and inspired by a Muppet Show sketch involving a dog and a boomerang fish thrower.
