By Jove I Think I've Got It...

Thanks to my brother, Walt, who sent the following email to me yesterday.  In my post titled "Ok Uncle Sam What's Next?" I was less than pleased with our government about passing the bail out bill with all of the pork this week.  On top of that we are hearing of a couple of states hinting about needing to be bailed out too!

Let me get this straight, we will bail out all of those overpaid executives with the enormous Golden Parachutes get off scot free and, we have to cover that loss that they created?  Hmmmmmmmm

Ok Uncle Sam, I think that I have the solution to this hiccup in our economy.  Please read my solution below:

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.
While reading these keep in mind that these are first
graders, 6 year-olds, because the last one is a classic!

It's always darkest before..........................Daylight Saving Time

You can lead a horse to water but..............how?

The pen is mightier than the.......................pigs
An idle mind is.............................................the best way to relax
Where there's smoke there's......................pollution
Happy the bride who...................................gets all the presents
A penny saved is.........................................not much
Two's company, three's...............................the Musketeers
Don't put off till tomorrow what...................you put on to go to bed
Laugh and the whole world laughs with you, cry and.....you have to blow your nose
There are none so blind as..........................Stevie Wonder
Children should be seen and not.................spanked or grounded
If at first you don't succeed.........................get new batteries
You get out of something only what you.....see in the picture on the box
When the blind leadeth the blind................get out of the way
Better late than...........................................pregnant

Hey Congress, if you have a problem making the right decision and are more concerned about which one of your friends will get the pork let me suggest that you setup a committee of first graders and let them make your decisions for you!!

Don,

I think I need to spend some more time with this 1st grade class....they have real insight as well as a sense of humor and too many adults have lost that......

This is FABULOUS!! I have seen a similar list before...but it is just wonderful. You know what HE says...'A little child shall lead them.' How many times I've realized just how true that is. GBU, my friend!

Don, We liked this post so much we reblogged it.

We just had one of our posts reblogged and realized there is no

way to check and see who did it. 

 I even checked with AR and they don't have a link in place yet to trace it back.

We are the culprits!

And we are still laughing at this blog.

Terry,

Don't you just love the prok reference?  When I read this I started thinking about our politicians and how some of them fair?

BTW, thanks for the reblog.
