frnds , today i am going to draw ur attention towards
a very important problem which always clicks my mind.
we have been fighting a desperate battle of languages for 56 years.but we have u ever thought that one of these main languages is wacky??
well if u havent then i will make u rethink.
i just dont knw how can i fix a sandwhich when i havent broken it.in addition to that,i have never been able to spot any type of 'sand' or 'witch' in my sandwhich.
in addition to this, there is no 'ham' in hamburger.
so dont u find english funny and clumsy??i think english proverbs and idioms are quite misleadindg too.i have got solid proof to prove my point...
BARKING DOGS SELDOM BITE:
if u belive in this,u will belive anything then!!!
i mean ,barking dogs always bite.my sweet puppy is a perfect xample that will first of all look at u with lots of love,then bark and if u still remain there. u r sure to get bitten..so beware!! barking dogs always bite.
IT,S NO USE CRYING OVER SPILT MILK:
absolutely wrong,infact it is good to cry over spilt milk,doctors say so.crying relives you of mental pressure and it is even helpful in leading a healthy life.so do cry over spilt milk.and if u cant cry think that the milk u spilt costs rs 30.00 per litre.this is sure to make ur eyes wet!!
AN APPLE A DAY KEEPS THE DOCTOR AWAY:
this might be true of AFGHANI apples bcoz PAKISTANI apples are not just juicy and not always in good condition.i think an apple a day keeps the frnds away.if u will buy apples daily,money will go away and in turns frnds.
NO PAINS NO GAINS:
no,if it pains too much,then i will simply like to forget about the gain.offcourse gaining is not always everything,you have to look after your heart,and my heart says "NO PAINS".and it pains extraordinary, how can you even think about anythhing else but reliving your pain.so wht i think this proverb doesnt hold good for most of us..
so frnds wht do u think??

Those sayings arent to be taken Literally, it is a figure of speech, used to describe something. The barking dogs dont bite, one is explained like, Most people who are going to do something just do it, and those who talk about things, most likely wont do it. No use crying over spilled milk, just means, dont make a big deal over something small. No pain no gain means, you cant get something for nothing. Things that are important, and rewarding take hard work.
