Children should be like waffles--you should be able to throw the first one away
and

Children are natural mimics who act like their parents despite every effort to teach them good manners

if you love something - set it free.

if it comes back, it's yours forever.

if it doesn't , hunt it down and kill it.

I still have the motto I got from a fortune cookie many years ago. It's the wisest thing I've ever seen:

"The humpty-dumpty of shellshock"

True

You can lead a horse to water, but a pencil must be lead.

On a slightly different theme, we have been collecting mis-read sayings around the office. The list is very long, but here are a few favourites

He's so thick he makes me lokk like Nigel Hawkins.
She had a G-string with Del Monte gems on it.
You've got to draw a line under the sand.
He's hanging on by the hair of his teeth.
I'm a goody brown-nose.
It doesn't wet my boat.
Do you know Highway to Heaven?
She's a mug-runcher.
She has the nose of a bat.
I'll have to run that through him.
I don't beat behind the bush.
It's as flat as a dodo.
They're selling like wildfire.
I'll give you a ball-point figure.
We're all labelled with the same brush.
They don'y know which side their bread's toasted on.
He thinks the sunshine grows out of his ****.
It's a mind field.
You can't pull the wool over his ears.
You've really put the cat in the fire.
She's got post-mortem depression.
The stable door has bolted.
He was wearing a teepee.
I'm ravishing.
The lottery, it's just a lottery.
They huffed and puffed but couldn't blow the house up.
I wouldn't trust him with a barge pole.
Killing two stones at once.
He's sharp as a button.
You can't lead a duck to water.
I was chuffed to beans.
It's good to get your face in the door.
He's got a couple of strings up his sleeve.
James Bond, the MFI agent.
We were running round like legless chickens.
Make my day, you dirty rat.

Richard.
