This one's for Jon E Diamond, since he and I had fun sharing some media screwups a while back...  I recently came across this saying and thought it was rather hilarious... Before you criticize someone, walk a mile in their shoes...That way when you criticize them you'll be a mile away, and you'll have their shoes"Anyone else hear similar ones..? |

Actually, in school we had a bunch of those split into two parts and we had to match them up...I was young enough that I actually argued with the teacher that the correct proverb was "A rolling stone killed the cat".... ;D

Here's one for all the parents out there.
Out of the mouths of babes...
comes semi-digested oatmeal.

Here's one just for the sake of nonsense.
You can lead a horse to the water, but blood is still thicker.

The early bird gets the worm... but the second mouse gets the cheese. I once had a large collection of conflicting proverbs like these... Look before you leap / He who hesitates is lost Don't look a gift horse in the mouth / Beware of strangers bearing gifts A quick Google search turned up this page, which lists those and more. |

Similar note: "A brave man likes the feel of nature on his face."
"Yeah, and a wise man knows when to get in out of the rain!" |

If we're talking mixed metaphors, here's another one I heard somebody say:
"He's caught between a rock and the deep blue sea."
Don't worry, nobody we know...

The early bird gets the worm... but the second mouse gets the cheese. My world has just been changed b/c of this. Serious I really like this one. Never heard it before. This will probally become one of my favorite quotes, right behind - Picky comes home happy.... when someone tells me I'm too picky. |

Glad you liked it, Rated R.
Here's an African proverb I always liked...
Only a fool tests the depth of the water with both feet.
