From the mouth of babes...
A first grade teacher collected well known proverbs. She gave each child in her class the first half of a proverb and asked them to come up with the remainder of the proverb. It's hard to believe these were actually done by first graders. Their insight may surprise you.

Two Irish women in a bar.
Two Irish Women in a Bar:
Two women were sitting next to each other at a bar. After a
While, one looks at the other and says, 'I can't help
But think, from listening to you, that you're from Ireland.
The other woman responds proudly, 'Yes, I sure am!'
The first one says, 'So am I! And where about in
Ireland are ya from?'
The other woman answers, 'I'm from Dublin, I am.'
The first one responds, 'So, am I!! And what
Street did you live on in Dublin ?'
The other woman says, 'A lovely little area. It was in
The west end. I lived on Warbury Street in the old central
Part of town.'
The first one says, 'Faith, and it's a small world.
So did I! So did I! And what school did ya go to?'
The other woman answers, 'Well now, I went to Holy
Heart of Mary, of course.'
The first one gets really excited and says, 'And so
Did I! Tell me, what year did you graduate?'
The other woman answers, 'Well, now, let's see. I
Graduated in 1964.'
The first woman exclaims, 'The Good Lord must be
Smiling down upon us! I can hardly believe our good luck at
Winding up in the same pub tonight! Can you believe
It? I graduated from Holy Heart of Mary in 1964 me self!
About this time, Michael walks into the bar, sits down, and
Orders a beer.
Brian, the bartender, walks over to Michael shaking his
Head and mutters, 'It's going to be a long night tonight.'
Michael asks, 'Why do you say that, Brian?'
Brian answers, 'The Murphy twins are drunk again.' :innocent:
