ENGLISH PROVERBS REVISITED
Two wrongs don't make a right, or anything else. Whoever heard of a wrong making anything?
The pen is mightier than the sword that is smaller and duller than the pen.
When in Rome, do as the Romans do as soon as you can figure out what the Romans do. This will be difficult since the Roman Empire fell over a thousand years ago.
The squeaky wheel gets the grease and uses the grease to style its hair. This must be true since no one has seen a squeaky wheel with messy hair.
When the going gets tough, the tough get going. Where? Who knows? But eventually the tough have to return to get grease for their squeaky wheels.
No man is an island, and neither is a woman. This is not a profound observation -- especially when you compare the physical characteristics of islands to the physical characteristics of human beings.
Fortune favors the bold because it is related to the bold. It's a simple case of nepotism.
People who live in glass houses should not throw stones. They should also put lots of money aside for glass cleaner.
"Two heads are better than one," said the Siamese twin trying to make himself feel better over being joined at the head to his brother.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but the beholder rarely resorts to surgery to have the beauty removed.

WHO SAID WHAT?
"Do you pollinate?" asked the flower.
"I always speak the truth -- except when I lie," said the politician.
"I'll be home for Christmas," said Santa. "But I may be late."
"I am nothing without you," said the lamp to the plug.
"I easily gain weight when I eat couch potatoes," said the cannibal.
"I love getting stuff dirt cheap," said the earthworm.
"You're black!" said the pot to the kettle.
"I am an early version of you," said Failure to Success.
"Am I nuts?" asked the cashew.
"I don't think so," said the peanut.
"Stop scraping my bottom!" said the barrel.
"Is this The End?" asked The Beginning.
"I hope so," said My Blog. "The barrel wants us to stop."
