The funny thing about our prverbs is ow many of them have the name John in them. the other day we were counting with a friend and came up with more than 10 with John. I guess it �s a very common name here...One of my favourites is when someone is complaining of the same thing all the time and we say  " what �s wrong with John and again he can �t? his arse is hurting..."

If I stood in front of something such as the TV he would say, "You �d make a better door than a window."

Another was "your promises are like piecrust, meant to be broken" when he didn �t believe me.

He also used to say that something "was as slow as a wet week in China" I never understood that one.

When I was looking for something he would say "it �s in the last place you look" Duh!

"A closed mouth collects no foot" means if you keep your mouth closed you won �t put your foot in it (ie not make a faux pas)

When your feet are hurting we say "My dogs are barking"

My favourite is one I saw in Los Angeles airport:

I could go on for ever.
