Conflicting Proverbs

Actions speak louder than words.
The pen is mightier than the sword.

Look before you leap.
He who hesitates is lost.

Many hands make light work.
Too many cooks spoil the broth.

A silent man is a wise one.
A man without words is a man without thoughts.

Beware of Greeks bearing gifts.
Don’t look a gift horse in the mouth.

Clothes make the man.
Don’t judge a book by its cover.

Nothing ventured, nothing gained.
Better safe than sorry.

The bigger, the better.
The best things come in small packages.

Absence makes the heart grow fonder.
Out of sight, out of mind.

What will be, will be.
Life is what you make it.

Cross your bridges when you come to them.
Forewarned is forearmed.

What’s good for the goose is good for the gander.
One man’s meat is another man’s poison.

With age comes wisdom.
Out of the mouths of babes and sucklings come all wise sayings.

The more, the merrier.
Two’s company; three’s a crowd

It’s no wonder we’re all confused. 😯

That’s my story and I’m sticking to it! Have a HAPPY THURSDAY ‘people, stay safe,
and whatever you do, don’t forget to laff it up! Peace, I am outta here! Eucman! 😁

 
 Guaranteed to Roll Your Eyes
 My father is a skilled CPA who is not great at self-promotion. So when an
advertising company offered to put my father’s business placard in the shopping
carts of a supermarket, my dad jumped at the chance.
Fully a year went by before we got a call that could be traced to those placards.
“Richard Larson, CPA?” the caller asked.
“That’s right,” my father answered. “May I help you?”
“Yes,” the voice said. “One of your shopping carts is in my yard, and I want you to come and get it.”

Wednesday’s Movie Trivia of the day!    
Andy Serkis plays Ian Dury from New Wave in this movie that follows his road to success
and his struggles along the way. What movie?
 
Answer:  Sex & Drugs & Rock & Roll (2010)
The film took its name from Ian Dury’s 1977 single “Sex & Drugs & Rock & Roll”, which is not so much about the excesses in life as it is about realizing that there is more to life than the day-to-day 9 to 5 existence. The film focuses on his struggles in dealing with his disability (from having polio) how that and the rock musician lifestyle affected his relationships along the way.
