When old adages go wrong...
Sure, two heads are better than one, if you’re collaborating on a project with another person. But what if you grew another head? I’m not sure that it rings true in that case…
An apple a day will certainly NOT keep the doctor away if all you eat each day is one apple.
A watched pot never boils slower than an unwatched pot. Time can be relative in some instances, but this is not one of them…
You know, the grass is greener on the other side of the fence because the neighbor just spray-painted his yard bright green for St. Patrick’s Day…
Sticks and stones may break your bones but words will ALWAYS hurt you if they’re made out of hard plastic and hurled at you…
Sticks and stones may break my bones, but Styx and (the) Stones will ALWAYS make me rock out in my living room.
A rolling stone gathers no moss. Hmm. The same could be said for the Rolling Stones, I suppose – which is good, they’d look weird with a bunch of moss all over them…
There’s no such thing as a free lunch unless someone else pays for it.
It's a fact of life that you can’t have your cake and eat it too if there’s no more cake left.
What you know can’t hurt you …unless you what you don’t know is that an anvil is about to fall on your head.
Early to bed, early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise unless he works the night shift.
