Only Time will tell so they say

Really ??? yep today topic is rather crazy saying and there in the title are two of them. Time may have a face (a clock face) but it doesn’t have a mouth so how the hell is it going to tell you anything ? ok the second bit so they say. so who say’s who are these people that come up with cryptic saying that mean nothing ???? is there a government department churning them out ?? or is it some monks sit on top of a high mountain going I know let really confuse those buggers down there !!

Shut you mouth and eat your food is another great one HOW if my mouth is shut how can i get the food in it ????

If i have told you once i have told you a thousand times – generally people have only said it once or twice when they say this why a thousand why not 50 times its more realistic

if you don’t eat your crust your hair will not go curly. right first of all simply not true, secondly  my hair is already curly and lastly I don’t want curly hair !!!

drink this it will grow hairs on your chest – not a good one for women for a start, and well you know its not true anyway what is it fertilizer for chest hair ?

these are jus a few i could think of off the top of my head but they come up all the time

Of course there are some of these that are easy to explain, for example “the proof of the pudding is in the eating” doesn’t mean to prove its a pudding you need to eat it. proof in old days was used instead of the word test. so really that should read the testing of the pudding is in the eating what actually makes far more sense.

but now my favourite quote of all time reportedly said by Churchill at some official reception

Lady: Mr Churchill you are drunk.

Churchill: Ah yes my dear lady but you are ugly and in the morning I will be sober.

I am not 100% sure if this really happened, some say it did other say it didn’t, I would like to think it is true and old Churchill is the most likely person to have actually said that. Shame is now when we think of Churchill we think of Ahhhh YES because of the dog on the TV adverts.
