Proverbs From Yesterday's Headlines

Everyone knows that psychiatrists always ask people to interpret proverbs, so as to get an idea of their ability to abstract. Here are a few for you to try, taken from yesterday's headlines:

Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me.

Hoist by their own petard. (Technically, this is not a "proverb", but I thought I'd include it anyway since it was so appropriate)

If at first you don't succeed, try try again.

Don't change horses (or donkeys) in mid-scream stream.

Practice what you preach

Seeing is believing (or NOT believing in this case)

You can't judge a book by its cover

Turnabout is fair play

Birds of a feather flock together

You can't please everyone.

There is no fool like an old fool

Laughter is the best medicine (even if you don't get your social security)
