Three on Thursday: Old Saws

Some day soon, I want to really zero in on the concept.  For now, It's going to be "Stream of Consciousness", Jack Kerouac style, and so, I'm sorry fellow Three Thursdays posters. 

And away we  gooo:

1. "You can't teach an old dog new tricks." 

They are creatures of habit.  Now, this also applies to old typists!  This "old dog" is trying to learn to type without hitting the the space bar with her thumb.  Both my thumbs are now screaming at me from knitting and typing.

2. "In for a penny. In for a pound."

Oh yes, be sure to ALWAYS jump into any new endeavor with both feet. Just don't think!

3. "If it walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, it's a duck."  

Hoh hoh! Did you know that geese and ducks can form hybrids?  Me, either.. So if it walks like a duck but it honks like a goose, watch out, it's going to be VERY TERRITORIAL. 

 This last one is true, though the answer is tricky.  Goose/Duck matings that may occur, but the eggs are never fertile.

I was raised on a farm where the geese and the ducks were friendly to each other but not that friendly! 

"Hey, Hooman!! Don't even ASK!"
