Annnd…if it’s always darkest just before dawn, how does the early bird FIND the friggin’ worm? Does he have landing lites? Does he get his batteries from the pink bunny? What’s the worm doing up at that hour anyway? Was he watching “The Good Earth” on AMC at 3 AM? Is that really an early bird or a night owl working late? If you got up earlier than the bird would YOU get the worm? Would you want to? What could you do with a worm in the morning anyway? Make an omelette? Would it smell like…victory?

Go ahead, walk up to me while I’m reading a book jacket in the book store and say, “You can’t judge a book by its cover.” Please, make my day.

“Seeing is believing, yet some thing’s aren’t what they seem,” he said while dropping his pants.
“That’s true,” she said, putting a lamp shade on her head. “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure,” she added, throwing caution to the wind.

Outside of a dog a book is a man’s best friend, inside of a dog it’s too dark to read.
Yours truly,
This topic reminds me of a classic post by TennHippie in a thread about mixed metaphors.
The squeaky wheel gets the elbow grease; oil and water flock together. A rose by any other name smells after 3 days; stop to consider the lillies; seize the daisies. If the shoe fits, it is on the other foot. A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single foot in the mouth. Glass houses make good neighbors. You’ll be laughing out of the other side of next week. One man’s mate is another man’s bison. You can’t tell a book by its feathers. A bird in the hand is the Devil’s workshop; it is the goose that laid the bad apple. If wishes were horses, beggars would eat like French kings. If a tree falls on a mime, does it make a sound? The cat is out of the wet paper bag. There is honey and vinegar in the fly ointment. The ox is slow, but the sword is a plowshare. Guns or butterflies are free to fly into the flame. Misery loves strange bedfellows. She doesn’t know her ass from a hole in her head.

Regret comes only when it’s too late. hate that one.
Had a very droll boss once who used to say things like:
“It’s always darkest…just before the bottom drops out”
“In front of every silver lining theres a biiiiiig black cloud”

Doesn’t this read like the kind of message James Bond might receive?

Well, yeah, but who wants to catch flies ???
