What's sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander [Francine]
Libel me and you I'll slander
 
[Francine]
 
The pot calls the kettle black [Francine]
A hackneyed phrase 'cause I'm a hack
 
[Francine]
 
It isn't the heat, it's the humidity [evan_ers]
Makes me lose my rigidity
 
[evan_ers]
 
You can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear [Francine]
Which your latest facelift proves, my dear
 
[Francine]
 
That's the straw that broke the camel's back [evan_ers]
I shouldn't have eaten that third Big Mac
 
[evan_ers]
 
You've just opened a can of worms [Francine]
And what is worse, you're spreading germs
 
[Francine]
 
You can't get blood from a turnip [Karin]
So I'll take the insurance money when your house I burn up
 
[Karin]
 
You've got a tiger by the tail [Francine]
Too late now to weep and wail
 
[Francine]
 
Don't count your chicks before they hatch -- [Dottie]
In case you get a rotten batch
 
[Grayman]
 
If at first you don't succeed [Karin]
A loser you'll become, indeed
 
[Karin]
 
When the going gets tough the tough get going [evan_ers]
So I'm taking a nap, cause it just started snowing
 
[evan_ers]
 
It never rains but it pours [Beefy]
That's why I stay indoors
 
[Beefy]
 
One swallow does not a summer make [Francine]
But you can bet it's winter if you see a snowflake
 
[Francine]
 
Many hands make light work [Beefy]
Though it just takes one to flip the switch, you berk
 
[Beefy]
 
Too many cooks spoil the stew [Francine]
And stepping in cowpies will ruin your shoe
 
[Francine]
 
Time flies when you're having fun [evan_ers]
That's why I feel like I'm a hundred-and-one
 
[evan_ers]
 
Good things come in small parcels [Beefy]
(Though many short men are bumptious arcels)
 
[Beefy]
 
A watched pot never boils [Francine]
But a wire invariably tangles and coils
 
[Francine]
 
Be it ever so humble, there's no place like home [Kansas Sam]
Doggone, it's a three dog night in this igloo in Nome!
 
[Kansas Sam]
 
Look before you leap [Beefy]
That cliff looks pretty steep!
 
[Beefy]
 
Little pitchers have big ears [Francine]
And their bellies expand from too many beers
 
[Francine]
 
No pain, no gain [evan_ers]
So vain, no brain
 
[evan_ers]
 
A stitch in time saves nine [Kansas Sam]
My wife, though, won't sew mine
 
[Kansas Sam]
 
It's always darkest just before dawn [Beefy]
So pick sometime else to start mowing the lawn
 
[Beefy]
 
You can lead a horse to water but you can't make it drink [Grayman]
Which just about saves my kitchen sink
 
[Grayman]
 
Where there's a will, there's a way [Beefy]
For the lawyers to carry the day
 
[Francine]
 
In for a penny, in for a pound [Beefy]
Or much more if you take the Underground
 
[Beefy]
 
Penny wise and pound foolish [Francine]
Semi-warm and kind of coolish
 
[Francine]
 
The first cuckoo of Spring [Beefy]
Is finding it too damn cold to sing [Beefy]
