At formal occasions I am always surprised at how well some folks "clean up." A little make-up, some shiny jewelry, a slinky dress and colored fingernails almost make some ladies unrecognizable. Likewise, a tuxedo, bow tie, and fresh haircut make a prince out of a lumberjack.
All of us are familiar with the everyday version of the proverb "Don't look a gift horse in the mouth." But would you recognize this well-known saying if it walked into the party all dressed up in its Sunday best? Here she is: "Never subject a presented quadruped of the Equus caballus family to detailed inspection of its oral cavity."
How about these?
- A culinary utensil under constant visual supervision never reaches a temperature of 212 degrees.
- Plumaged bipeds of the same species have a pattern of congregating in exclusive assemblies.
- A simpleton and his collateral are eftsoon estranged.
- One feathered biped in the terminal prehensile part of one's arm is equal to twice that many in shrubby vegetation.
- Accelerated execution produces faulty results.
- A superfluity of people engaged in the preparation of food can do profound damage to the liquid from boiled meat.
- Garner the centimes and the larger monetary units will supervise their own welfare.
- Liquid atmospheric precipitation is seldom moderate but invariably excessive.
