Fun With Popular Expressions

Here at the Common Sensorium we like to turn common sense on its head. In that light, I've been playing around with popular expressions lately during some of my spare thinking time (that's about 7 minutes a day for those of you counting) and came up with this list (some of which are admittedly just downright silly and some of which I've heard before and just can't remember from where):

  • Religion is the opiate of the masses - except in China, where Opium is the opiate of the masses
  • Why buy the cow if you can have sex with it for free? (Gabe P. astutely points out this is from Mallrats)
  • 1 in the bush is better than 2 hand jobs
  • Bigger bang for your fuck
  • A Pap Smear a day means the doctor is gay
  • Revenge is a dish best served before dessert
  • Up shit's creek without any toilet paper
  • Absynthe makes the heart grow drunker
  • Don't bite the dick that fucks you (HT David Allan Coe)
  • This just in from Ben Feuer: Vermouth shall set you free
