#FailedProverbs A Game For Friday!

[AB Editor]

Another Game everyone:

#failedproverbs

These are proverbs which do not work

For example:

Money is the root of all bills = "Money is the root of all evil,"

Further Examples:

Cats have nine knives
Absence makes the hand go fondling
A bad lover blames his tool

I know you all can do better of course.

Fire away!

How about joining parts of different proverbs:-

A watched kettle has a silver lining
One swallow doesn't spoil the broth.

[AB Editor]

I like that Glasman, I have played that one before:

"Like a Spanner on a hot-tin roof"
"That put a Cat in the works"

Etc etc

[zzxxee]

[Jumbuck]

you can lead a horse to the altar but you can't make it wear the dress

[zzxxee]

[AB Editor]

Nice work. Especially like Zzxxee's - it is eggcellent.

How about - You can lead a horse to water but it can't fix the sink.

Spare Ed.
