We Need New Proverbs
July 6, 2020 at 12:55 pm
Alter a proverb you’re fed up with.
-Don’t count your chickens before they’re on the plate with a baked potato and peas.
-Nothing is fair in love and war.
-One man’s meat is what you wish you had ordered.
-When one door closes, you don’t have to look at the JWs anymore.
-You can lead a horse to water, but if you can get him to do the backstroke, you’ll make a fortune.

Good things come on those who wait.
Two heads are better than three.
