Wikipedia lists proverbial phrases--most of which I know. The following are new to me/outdated and I'M BRINGING THEM BACK! Huzzah!
1. Do not spoil the ship for a ha'pworth of tar. I love the pirate-speak of this one, matey. I'm going to use it next time I'm ordering at a restaurant. "I will take a ha'pworth of Pepsi, please....aargh!"
2. If you pay peanuts, you get monkeys. I already know that if you pay for 'Twilight,' you get horny pre-teens (and their moms)...same concept?
3. Caesar's wife is above suspicion. Aren't families the first people questioned when there's a knife in your husband's back?
4. A poor workman always blames his tools. Ahem...Dad...
5. A drowning man will clutch at a straw. Which is why he will drown, because he should have grabbed a life jacket.
