In this posting, I will take some of our favorite (or in some cases, annoyingly intrusive) American expressions/principles and flip them on their sides.
1) He who hesitates is lost...unless of course he's asking for directions.
2) That which doesn't kill us can only make us stronger...unless of course it paralyzes us
3) Life is unfair, and we believe in this principle so strongly that we set up a system of justice and equality to enforce it.
4) Slow and steady wins the race, which is why that speed-demon crossing the yellow tape right now looks so confused.
5) Do you see the glass as half empty or half full? I see it as both. If it's half empty, by definition, it also has to be half full.
6) A penny saved is a penny earned. Actually, I'm not going to argue with that one.
7) If necessity is the mother of invention, then who's the father?
8) If the grass is always greener on the other side, then what are the people on the other side thinking?
9) Today is the first day of the rest of your life, unless of course it's the day you die (alright, I stole that one from "American Beauty")
10) Practice makes perfect. No. Perfect practice makes perfect.
11) Time heals all wounds, so I guess you can avoid that whole "going to the doctor's" thing.
12) When it rains, it pours. So what is called when there's only a light drizzle?
13) Money doesn't grow on trees...except paper money, which obviously has to come from trees.
14) Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and so is conformity.
15) In this world, you can be anything you want to be (as long as you have enough money)
