Proverbs with NEW endings!
:D

A first grade teacher had twenty-five students in her class and she
presented each child the first half of a well known 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. The last one is classic!

14. Where there's smoke there's ................. pollution.

15. Happy the bride who.........................gets all the presents.

23. You get out of something only what you ....... see in the picture on the
box.

24. When the blind lead the blind ................. get out of the way.

And the WINNER!

2. Funny! I think I got this in a forward last month...
I always wondered how many unpublished comedy writers eventually move on to email forwards. I mean, what is the moment when they realize, "damn, I'll just email this to everyone instead of trying to publish."

But, thank you for sharing! A good laugh. I like the Never underestimate the power of termites.
