The comedy rumble (The patient dog eat the fattest bone)(Proverbs gone wrong))
Seriously, I love proverbs. It's a very good way to talk to people in a unique way that only those that understand could code. It's related to using idioms to communicate as well. But I have a problem with the way one of my friends translates proverbs in his head. tell him these proverbs and see his reactions
- Don't have too many irons in the fire
His response: It's never the case of a GOLDSMITH
- A new broom sweeps clean
His response: Only if the sweeper handles it well.
- You may lead a horse to the river but you cannot make it drink.
His response: Hahahaha "It's only a horse that is not thirsty that will get to the river and refuse to drink. Force a hungry beggar to a party and see if he won't eat 😂
- Let the sleeping dog lie
His response: Even when burglars are about to force the back door open? Why did I buy Bingo?
- A diamond with a flaw is better than a common stone that is perfect.
His response: It's a lie. Why didn't David kill Goliath with a Diamond? Even if the stone is not perfect, a perfect target will make it the best weapon. Diamond is precious, but no one will use it to kill a bird. Don't underrate stone, or should I sling you with a common stone and notice how precious it is?
- An apple a day keep the doctor away
Response: Then why is apple so cheap and affordable than hospital bills? liers
Jack will never allow you to explain the meaning to the proverbs. He would say there is always a better way than the way it sounds. For instance, if you say
- Among the blind ones, a one-eyed man is like a king.
I would agree with that because he can lead them with an eye. That's reasonable mhen!
But really, that's not where I'm going. It's just a diversion. Kids are always moved by stories. But you see me, I don't fucking care about sermons
In the part of the world I come from, if you buy a bottle of coke and you wanna share it among four kids, they would all prefer to drink from the bottle, and not from the cup. If it's biscuit, they all want the nylon. It's just like a norm among them. So funny
So one day, dad bought five alive juice and our uncle was to share it among us. Of course, he knew we would fight over the container and this was what he did
We were five in number. All of us were brilliant and this made the school authority confused about who to merit the head of the students. They rolled five papers in which one was written "head boy" and others nothing, and we were told to pick one that anyone with the right pick would become the head boy and others would be given other posts. We all agreed
When the papers were tossed, four boys rushed and picked theirs but I stood there looking at them. After they were done I picked the last paper and lo and behold, it was the right one and I was made the head boy. Can you see? "The patient dog eats the fattest bone"
I wanted to react to the proverb but I had to relax to see how everything would end
It was a true story.
So he said he's gonna roll papers for us and anyone that picked the right one would drink from the 5 alive containers. Yes, we agreed. When he tossed the paper, my elder sister and I rushed and picked ours. It was only three papers. When my elder sister picked her own, I was left with two choices until I decided on which one to pick
After we were through, my younger sister walked majestically with confidence, pride and smile to pick the last paper
My uncle was there laughing like someone that inhaled my nickname (the laughing gas)
When we were told to open and read what we picked, I heard a loud cry from my right. We couldn't help but laughed till we heard our ribs cracking
She thought she would pick the right one. She was very much disappointed with the outcome after placing 100% hope on it because of the story she followed
Damn! What the fuck? She rolled on the floor until I gave her my paper. I picked the right one but had no choice but to make her stop crying
Then I replied my uncle
Bros, the patient dog these days will only get to eat the hard bones like thoracic and Lumber after the smart ones feast on the flesh and the biscuit bones 😂. It would be a mere leftover
Proverbs are cool. Only a fool like me and my friend would turn it upside down. I've heard people call me a fool, but what I hear them pronounce is full, so I think I'm full of wisdom. Would you like to tap from it 🤷?
Can you crack ribs? If yes, check out this post and make us laugh out loud.

Hahaha, I always love it when people change these proverbs, it feels like they are filled with wisdom.
A friend of mine once came out from his house and was like, them say givers never lack, but now them don dey lack oo because he had no money and he thinks he is a giver 😂😂.
Thank you so much for sharing this with us, I enjoyed every bit of it.
That's just how they say it. Givers never lack. But sometimes, a giver would not have food to eat and no one would be ready to help 😂. But in a real sense, it's a nice proverb. Thanks miss hope. How your side today?
Well for one, your friend sounds like a party pooper 😆
Then on the head boy story, that must’ve been an extremely proud moment for you!
Actually, he's not. He uses proverbs too. He's just always having fun with it to make people laugh. Thanks, @winniecorp.
Haha alrighty
😆😆😆 you and your friend ehn.... Even the dog doesn't get patient anymore because the bone would end up becoming small or nothing to eat 😂😂😂😂😂
A dog waiting for me to throw a bone will only deceive itself because I now eat everything 😆😆😆😆
😂😂. So if at all you throw any bone, na make the dogs rush am because the patient one won't see jack on the floor to eat. 😂
Naso oo 😅😅
You garrit...
😂😂🤣🤣😂😂🤣 that's a funny one. The patient dog these days especially if you live in Nigeria, you will just starve and die low key 🤣🤣😂🤣🤣. The violent taketh it by force 🤣😂
Why did I buy Bingo? 😂😂🤣🤣😂😂😂 This hits differently and more funny when you are a Nigerian. We call all dogs Bingo 😂😂🤣😂 when we don't know their names.
Should I sling you with one? 😂😂🤣🤣 I can't stop laughing 🤣😂🤣🤣
Oh I want to be in the same space with your friend while he gives these random points about proverbs, they are so funny.
I'm never good at proverbs but I love to hear people say them 😏
