      Wow!!  Haven't heard that one before.  I don't even know what it means, but it's a mental image that is making me queesy.

    my favorite is "What goes around comes around".

    1. tritrain profile image69
      tritrainposted 13 years agoin reply to this

      That is one of my favorites too.  I have a hard time just coming up with the ultimate saying.  Dang.

      "What goes around comes around" is a classic.
      "Pay it forward" is kind of cheesy now. 

      But it's all the same.  big_smile

    Never criticise someone until you have walked a mile in their shoes.
    That way, when you do criticise them, you're a mile away and you've got their shoes.

    Even 8 years after the Rock retired, it has to be either; "If you smell what The Rock is cooking" or "Roody-poo candy @ss."

    I once found a saying: "I am studying all my life - my tombstone will be my diploma". I liked it and put it on a fridge door for everybody to read. My kid wrote under it: "Just don't be in a rush to get your diploma,okay?"
