I've been meaning to find explanations for old sayings. I was too lazy, so I'm makin up my own.
A stitch in time saves nine:
If you put your sewing machine underneath the minute hand of a clock, it will give you a nine minutes of sleep time, at which point, you think that time isn't passing, so your not wasting it. Unfortunately, your friend will walk by after nine minutes, take the sewing machine out from under the clock, and slam it on your head, waking you up.
Let sleeping dogs lie:
If your dog talks in it's sleep, and it happens to make a false statement about something, do not repremand it, because it was just a lie, and it probably was coherent in it's dream.
Please put your own explanations to these old sayings.
That way I don't have to look them up.
