The idea of this game is to take an old idiom or cliche and rework it into a funny line.

For example, the phrase "A watched pot never boils" could be changed into "A watched pot makes for boring TV." Then the poster leaves the next cliche such as "Like taking candy from a baby" for the next poster and so on.

I'll start with "He who laughs last laughs best" for you to work on.

He who laughs last doesn't get the joke.


If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen.

If you can't stand the heat, get a male dog instead.

To err is human; to forgive, divine.

To err is human, to misspell 'err' is very human.

That's the way the cookie crumbles.

That's the way your profits crumble.

Penny for your thoughts?

A penny for nothing much anymore.

Fool me once, shame on me...fool me twice, shame on you.

I believe it's, Fool me once, Shame on YOU, fool me twice, shame on ME. *is reminded of a funny line on Night at the Museum--that movie was funnier than it seemed*
Anyway...

All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.

All work and no play is no excuse to be working.

If at first you don't succeed, try, try again.

Better to have posted a crappy saying than to not have posted a saying at all (hint hint).

A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.

A bird in the air is worth two bullets.

A penny saved isn't really anything to celebrate.

When in Rome, do what the Romans do.

When in Rome, watch out for pickpocketing Gypsy children.

To be, or not to be; that is the question.

Two beans or not two beans? You can't have just one.

Early to bed, early to rise. Makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise.

Early to bed, early to rise, makes a man miss out on lots of awesome stuff that happens in the evening.

Nothing ventured, nothing gained.

Good things come to those who win the lottery.

What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas.

What happens in Vegas, gets puked out and/or stolen on the plane home from Vegas.

Two heads are better than one.

Two heads look freaky on one body.

Every cloud has a silver lining.

Every cloud looks like a bunny if you look hard enough.

A penny saved is a happy penny, but it still won't buy you anything. Ungrateful freakin' penny...

Reach for the stars.

A saying that someone else already used is not the best choice for a new round.

The grass is always greener on the other side.

The grass is more "far out" when you've had plenty of it.

You can't have your cake and eat it too.

You can't eat your cake without having cake in the first place.

I think I can.

He's not the sharpest cookie in the barrel.

Anything you can do I can do better.

I don't think that's a phrase
