Oh, the old wise proverbs that we hear all the time.
Sure, there’s a lot of wisdom in these, but aren’t there times that you just don’t want to hear them?

- Early to bed
early to rise
makes for a sleepy man
with bloodshot eyes. - A bird in the hand is . . .
dinner! - A penny saved is . . .
taxed for a dollar. - A stitch in time . . .
to sew up that pesky temporal rift. - Good things come to those who . . .
usually don’t deserve them
. . . or . . .
Good things come to those who . . .
wade. (fishin’) - It is always darker just before . . .
everything goes completely black. — Thanks to my good friend Zeb for this one! - He who laughs last . . .

But he means well, bless his heart! (In the Mountains, we follow such comments with this phrase so we don’t hurt anyone’s feelings.) - Behind every good man is . . .
someone waitin’ to stab him in the back! - All is well that ends . . .
the way that I wanted it to.
