Proverbs

Yesterday, I did not have much to do so I sat at the computer thinking of things to look up. I decided to look up Yiddish proverbs. I must have scrolled through hundreds of them. Some made me think and some made me laugh out loud. Some I had heard before and are commonly known. Others I read for the first time. It is amazing how a few words can speak volumes. Here are two of the funny ones: "He should turn into a chandelier and hang all day then burn all night" and "His stomach should turn so bad that he runs to the bathroom every three minutes... or every three months". They are even funnier when spoken in Yiddish. My family has a few of these saying that we have used for years. They never get old.
