This could be fun, maybe?
Inspired by my own post in this thread. Aphorism provided by DrFidelius
I guess to keep it rolling each poster should provide an aphorism for the next poster (either from an actual cookie, or invented). I’ll start:
“A closed mouth catches no flies.”
A fool and his money are soon parted
I also thought of one for my last offering:
(A horrifying true story.)
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder…
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder…
As well as instant death, petrification, and assorted other unpleasant fates.
EDIT: Oh, I need to add another one–
A rolling stone gathers no moss.
…because you can’t get high off moss.

…, or more like a 40th of a cent, should anyone still be repeating these words after 280 years of inflation," Ben Franklin wrote, adding “Seriously, don’t even bother.”
Time heals all wounds…
… well, except those that kill you. Can’t heal from death!
The beginning of wisdom is the definition of terms…
Time heals all wounds…
Except the ones inflicted by a falling cuckoo clock.
I will have to leave JohnT’s for someone else…since my wisdom seems not to have begun.
…, as Noah Webster once said.

Early to bed Early to rise
…usually doesn’t give one much of a social life.
Conquer your fears or they will conquer you.
Too many cooks spoil the soup.
…Too many cooks spoil the soup. At least that’s what Jeffery Dahmer told me.
Early to bed and early to rise, makes a man…
fall asleep halfway through Monday Night Football.
An apple a day keeps…
An apple a day keeps…
getting the peel stuck between your teeth.
If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again.
“If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again. But then give it a rest. Only an idiot keeps beating his head against the wall forever.”
“A thing of beauty is a joy forever.”
“A thing of beauty is a joy forever. Nothing lasts forever. Therefore, by modus tollens, your momma so ugly.”
To err is human.
To err is human. Blaming it on someone else is politics.
Look before you leap.
Look before you leap- make sure you land on someone you really dislike.
“Love means never having to say you’re sorry.”
Love means never having to say you’re sorry; it means saying, “Hey, Baby … Let me buy you this huge diamond ring to make it up to you!”
Absence makes the heart grow fonder.
