Old Sayings Confusion

[Fozzie Bear]

Hey, gang!

An idea hit me from this thread here when I saw a post by GelflingWaldo which read:

But I try not to judge a book before it hatches, and I don't count my chicken by their cover.

And I almost posted this in the same thread:

Never book a judge by its cover.

But, that was going to take the thread WAY off topic, so instead I thought, "Wouldn't it be a fun game if we were to mix-up old sayings and confuse folks with them?" And then I responded and said, "Yup, it might."

Now, I'm on medication for talking to myself and answering, but I suppose we might be able to have some fun, so post away!

Hm. Not many people seem interested in this thread Fozzie. Maybe you were barking up the wrong tree without a paddle.

But I do have a good, and thought provoking, one from Star Trek: Lefler's Law #32: "If life hands you lemonade, don't try to make lemons out of it."

I head a good one on a rerun of "I Love Lucy". Here it is...

Don't cross your chickens before your bridges is hatched.

Well there's this offensive one that I really don't believe but it falls under this category:

Just because I'm dumb doesn't mean I'm blonde.

Again, being blonde, don't appreciate it, but I thought it was a funny twist of words.
