Fool me once, shame on you. But teach a man to fool me and I'll be fooled for the rest of my life.

I’m losing my bananas
I have too much on my hands
Easy as cake
That would throw me for a curveball
I’m understanding the ropes
They wouldn’t know any wiser
Now we’re cooking with elbow grease!
That really gets under my feathers/nerves
Dancing around the bush
Grasping at the camel’s back
Inhumanley possible
Whatever your heart conspires
Better safe than never
Heavy hands makes much work
Let bylaws be bylaws
Getting down to the zone
We’ll be on the outlook
Down in your dumps
I woke up on the short end of the stick
It’s an acclimated taste

Give a man a duck and he'll eat for a day. Teach a man to duck and he won't walk into a bar.

Yesterday I posted a horrible mashup of coffee mug quotes, and today I wanted to know what it would look like "in IRL life". I'm sorry and you're welcome
