    (continued from previous page)
    Its the last straw that broke the camels back
    A hungry dog gets no bone
    The wearer of the boot know where it pinches
    The first sup of the broth is always the hotest
    The longest way round is the shortest way home
    Married in green your not fit to be seen
    Married in brown you will live out of town
