Morally, that should be the scenario. Unfortunately foxy my friend isn't always thus so.

I would agree with you, but then both of us would be wrong ...

Anyone know any? When you meet a man with one leg it's very hard not to talk about shoes.:):)

As Peter Cook said to a one-legged Dudley Moore, "I've got nothing against your right leg. The trouble is, neither have you".

This was from a YouTube video about a camera. The man was using street photography to demonstrate the camera and he came upon this man sitting on the pavement in London.
The man gave the quote I used in my last post and said that it was told to him by his mother.
The photographer then asked the man what happened, [i.e. did the man make use of this piece of wisdom].
There was a long pause and the man wistfully replied, "I thought".

The Spanish have it less graphically - "Take what you want said God. Take what you want and pay for it".

It's a long road that has no bends in it.
Even if you fall on your face, you are still moving forward
That's like blaming the barman for your hangover
A wild goose never reared a game gosling

And my favourite:

A nod is as good as a wink to a blind horse
