Proverbs Or Wise sayings

[Mafiaboy20]

Ok, Im going to put this in SL as well as Irrelivence for a test that Im doing, but first I want to tell you why I want Proverbs: Simply put, I am obsessed with them. Proverbs are (By www.answers.com (http://www.answers.com) dictionary) "A short pithy saying in frequent and widespread use that expresses a basic truth or practical precept". So I would like some of your practical concepts or wise sayings that got stuck in your head from other people or what you've learned over the course of your life. Oh, one more thing: Please keep it clean. Thanks.

I practiced that one. I chose to jump off the tailgate of a fast moving (25 mph is fast when you're on a tailgate >_>) and try not to eat it rather than fall and faceplant on the road. It didn't work out quite the way the saying goes. I still ate it but it looked awesome.

I think the saying means that in order to make things less worse, sometimes you need to admit what you did instead of letting things get out of hand. Still, nice story :D

It could also mean you can do something nasty, annoying, hard now to avoid having to either clean up the mess from not doing it, or having to do even more
