- (continued from previous page)neck twisted.
A bag on a beggar man's back.Whats the lightest city in the world.
CorkWhen was beef the highest?
When the cow jumped over the moon.
- Things that are got dishonest go badly.
Many a good father reared a bad son.
Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise.
The thing that is bought dear is often sold cheap.
A shut mouth is like a fortified town.
It was often a person's mouth broke his nose.
The windy day is not the day for the scallop.
A new brush sweeps clean but it takes the old one to sweep the corners. - Collector
