"There is no such thing as a stupid question, only stupid answers." Anyone who has brought up children, or subscribed to a discussion forum, knows how untrue that is.
Actually, anyone who has brought up children knows there is a grain of truth in that. Facial expressions, especially grimaces, tend to become habitual and unconscious. I also believe that a bird in the bush is worth two in the hand. Plus, you have a hand free for scratching.

That's the stupid version. What are you going to do with a bird in either hand? Can't put them down; can't use your hands for anything else. Trust me, they're all three better off in the bush - so if you're holding even one, let it go.
That may be one of the most inspirational sayins.!!! I suspect that sayin has inspired many people to harshly judge/look down on the less fortunate Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
Pull yourself up by your bootstraps. ...so, I've got my knees tucked under my chin, my heels digging into my groin, bare feet and a boot dangling from each hand. Now what? It's even harder if you're wearing old sneakers with furry, half-closing Velcro straps. "Beauty is only skin deep." Then why shell out $thousands to have a facial bone reshaped?
And thousands for lippo suction sucking out the fat under the skin which nobody can see If the amount of fat removed is a large amount that makes the skin wrinkled and less beautiful Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
Don't count your chickens before they hatch Sort of makes sense but being pedantic should be Don't count your eggs as chickens until they are so In the same vein a friend used to play the stock market and often come to work boosting how much money he had made, or sad about how much lost If fact since he had not sold his shares neither had happened Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
A fool and his money are soon parted Question - is this trickle down foolishness? The fool at the top (though I am unclear how you define the top fool) has to be given the money, (by a higher fool???) or how else does he/she get money to start with? From this high point the money trickles out to other fools. Somewhat like champagne in a pyramid of glasses Only stops when the money (champagne) runs out Homework for anybody - Who puts (or how does) the money (champagne) get back to the top?
