Proverbs + their Questionable Veracity

They say "never judge a book by its cover", but the hardcore anal porn mags on my local Paki grocer's top shelf are all sealed in cling-film, so a potential purchaser like myself has no option but to do just that. :cussing:

 

I wonder if any other board members have stumbled across other oft trotted-out sayings/"proverbs" that are, in reality, patently bullshite. :beer:

Nice post, FJ. As you so accurately noted, many proverbs are total trash.

 

I could never figure out if birds of a feather flock together or if opposites attract. Which one is it?

 

Also, nobody has ever called me a "pussy". Guess that negates "You are what you eat".

 

And, I don't know what the exchange rate is in Stoke, but here in BKK, 2 in the bush is worth way more than just a bird in hand.

 

 

 

Some proverbs seem to have gained validity, due to medical and other high tech advances.

 

F'rinstance, since the invention of Viagra, "early to bed, early to rise" has a much greater chance of actually happening.
