I have decided to institute something called ‘Proverb-Free Fridays’. It is somewhat like the uniform-free Fridays I used to love at school as a kid. But instead this means on Fridays I can blog about things not directly pertaining to any Proverb. I have had a couple people mention to me “What happens to your blog when you run out of pertinent proverbs?” One person suggested I start another blog called ‘The Psalt Shaker’. Not bad! :)

Well, after I have exhausted the proverb-free Fridays and used all the biblical proverbs I figure I will move on to ancient Chinese Proverbs. I have listed some of the funnier ones I found (I apologize in advance for the crudeness):

A bird in the hand is safer than one overhead.
Life is like a sewer... what you get out of it depends on what you put into it.
Man who run in front of car get tired. Man who run behind car get exhausted.
Man who eat many prunes get good run for money.
Man who farts in church sits in own pew.
Man who pushes piano down mine shaft get A flat miner.
War does not determine who is right, war determine who is left.
Man with one chopstick go hungry.
Crowded elevator smell different to midget.
Man who sneezes without hanky takes matters into his own hands
Man who lives in glass house should change clothes in basement.

Well, okay, these aren't authentic Chinese Proverbs but hopefully it gave you a laugh for the day!
