You know that old saying...

A different discussion brought to my mind all the famous sayings there are in the world. I think about sayings in other countries that might sound so odd to me, yet make perfect sense, in say, Asia. And, vice versa. I like "If you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all", and "It ain't over 'til it's over". Of course, the latter saying is by Yogi Berra, who was a great baseball player and a great person to get a quote from.
Anyone remember "Liar liar pants on fire, nose as long as a telephone wire"? Someone once told me they had never heard the last part, with the telephone wire.
What do you have?

I had never heard the one with the telephone wire. People who are not familiar with Pinocchio may not get it. I guess because I get to see so many sunrises and sunsets I often think of "Red sky at morning, sailors take warning. Red sky at night, sailors' delight." and I have heard it quoted as farmers take warning or delight.

My mother often told me not to let my face freeze like that. Never knew what she meant. Guess I made some goofy faces.

@AmbiePam the telephone wire just came to me. But we would sing Liar Liar pants on fire, hanging from a telephone wire. Don't know what that would mean either! LOL

I hadn't heard that last line either! I like "you can't fix stupid" and my personal favorite to my kids "because I said so."
