Again?

An Essay By Tamerah // 12/29/2007

I bet all you loyal readers out there have been wondering if i would ever write another one of these blogs! I said i would and i now have.


NOTE: I do in fact know what all these sayings actually mean, or at least what they are supposed to mean, so there is no need to tell me.

The Early Bird Gets the Worm
Well, I'm not a bird, and i don't really like worms. . . So i guess i'll sleep in!

People Who Live In Glass Houses Shouldn't Throw Stones
Very true, they also shouldn't take showers, but what this should say is "People who live in glass houses should invest in curtains"

Where There's a Will There's a Way
Who is this Will everyone's talking about and where can i find him?

Barking Dogs Seldom Bite
Notice the word 'seldom' in the above saying. Just incase there is a slight chance of the ferocious looking dog biting you, i suggest you don't pet it.

A Man is Known By His Friends
I sure hope his friends know him!

Actions Speak Louder Than Words
Like when you knock over a special antique vase off of the book shelf while playing indoor tennis. Oh what a glorious crash that will make as it hits the floor, shattering into pieces. But beware of the angry mother who has little trouble making her words just as loud as her actions.
Moral of this saying: Don't play indoor tennis.

All Roads Lead To Rome
So thats why there are so many tourists there! They aren't really there for the ancient sculptures and buildings, they just got lost!

Don't Put All Your Eggs In One Basket
My guess is the person who made up this saying thought it would be funny watching someone try to carry five baskets of eggs into the house at once.

Turn The Other Cheek
"See! I told you that was your good side!"

He Who Hesitates is Lost


Unlike the person who takes the left fork in the road without reading the sign that says "WARNING! pit of Piranas"? Now the person who hesitated would have seen the sign and wisely taken the path on the right. But i guess it doesn't matter if you get lost, all roads lead to Rome after all, and when it Rome, do as the Romans do! I'm not sure what that is exactly, but you may be able to purchase a map at the nearest gas station.

Easier Said Than Done
This saying must bug the heck out of mute people.

Look Before You Leap
Seriously, you could be leaping into a pit of Vipers! But if you still feel like jumping heedlessly into a dark pit echoing with the hissing of serpents, be my guest, but i'm thinking it might be better to invest in a trampoline if your really so fond of leaping.

The Grass is Always Greener On the Other Side of the Fence
"Honey, the Peterson's grass is greener than ours!"
"Don't worry dear, its just the lighting."

What you don't know can't hurt you
This one is truly, in every sense of the word, ridiculous. It should say what you don't know can't scare you. If someone has hidden a large tarantula in your bed, when you curl up to go to sleep, it is likely that it will hurt you. But if you don't know it is there your not going to be scared of it. From personal observation, i have noticed not many people find tarantulas in their bed at night, or any other time for that matter, so it is likely very few people are afraid of it.

It Never Rains But It Pours
I think an Oregonian wrote this one.

Sorry to disappoint, but thats the end!
