Cliche Review #1

So many cliches used everyday. It's about time someone started taking them to task. Might as well be me, right? Of course right.

"Many Hands make light work."

Do they? I only have two. If I had been born with eight hands I can't possibly see how that would help me. I'm already uncoordinated enough as it is. I can't imagine what kind of disaster I would cause with more hands. Especially if I still only had two arms.

"A rose by any other name would smell as sweet."

Lies. There was a test done some years back where they took two groups, blindfolded them, and set an aged cheese in front of them. They told one group that it was dirty socks and the other that it was cheese. The group that was told it was socks started retching while the group that was told it was cheese started salivating. Proving once and for all that scientists have way too much time.

"Absolute power corrupts absolutely"

I just thought it got you drunk...

"The acorn doesn't fall far from the tree"

Then why are there squirrels everywhere? Seems like they should just commune around the acorn tree. 

"All that glitters is not gold"

I didn't say it was. I said glitter was for girls.

"An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure"

First of all, have you seen how much they're charging for an ounce these days? Secondly I haven't even seen where they sell cure. I mean, the rate must be pretty high, but maybe I'll save up for awhile.
