Twisted Proverbs
Humorous New Takes on Wise Old Sayings...
The early bird catches the worm... I'll just have coffee, thanks.
It's better to give than to receive... so whattya got for me?
A watched pot never boils... but gets great ratings on the Food Channel.

Ask me no questions... and I'm sure to be elected.
Great minds think alike... so tell me, what's for lunch?

A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step... unfortunately my dog got there first.
Walk a mile in my shoes... and you can keep 'em, thank you.

Let the chips fall where they may... unless you're in a barn.
Don't bite the hand that feeds you... unless they're wearing chocolate gloves.

An apple a day keeps the doctor away... garlic works for everybody else.
Health is better than wealth... Feeling better? That'll be a hundred bucks.

Accidents will happen... so always carry a camera phone.
And finally:
God helps those who help themselves... that's why I always carry a fork.
