This post of Lydia’s (which I admit, has me completely baffled!) prompted me to put these up for your enjoyment. This is a collection of familiar cliches, slightly reworded, that I use for one of the lessons in a Drama and Public Speaking class I usually teach in the Spring semester. Can you figure them out?
1. You will fail to instruct an aged canine in new methodology.
2. It is possible to direct an equestrian to a liquid substance, but it is impossible to force him to partake thereof.
3. If initially you achieve not the desired result, attempt, aspire to once more.
4. The end has not arrived until the large female utters vocal melodies.
5. That which travels in a spherical pattern returns to the place from whence it began.
6. A copper coin which remains unspent is equal to the acquisition of the same.
7. It availeth nothing to utilize your tear ducts over the no longer contained white liquid.
8. Refrain from adding your feathered poultry prior to their departure from a hard-shelled nucleus.
9. The proliferate lawn plant is continually a more desirable shade in a location opposite your own position in relation to the barrier of separation.
10. Refrain from lighting upon fire the arched walkway which you have crossed.
11. Occupants of transparent places of abode ought not fling small mineral fragments.
12. Near proximity is of credit solely in equestrian iron wear and small explosive devices.
