Stupid sayings that are blatantly WRONG...

[Easy 10]

"A watched kettle never boils"

Well I've just made a round of tea, and as I couldn't be bothered to leave the kitchen while the kettle boiled, I stood there. Watching it. Sure enough, about 3 minutes later, the kettle had indeed boiled despite me not taking my eyes off it for so much as a SECOND. I proceeded to make some piping hot tea for my work colleagues.

Its a good job I'm not an eye mental, or I could easily have suffered severe burns and permanent scarring if I'd tested THAT little theory out. It's irresponsible, meaningless sayings like this that make my blood boil.

"Look after the pennies, and the pounds will look after themselves"

Utter shite. Whats the point of looking after pennies ? I don't want loads of coppers rattling around my pockets anyway. Try leaving a few pound coins scattered around though, and some bastard will soon be "looking after" them for you, you can be DAMN sure of that. A coin, by definition, is incapable of looking after itself. It is an inanimate piece of metal for christs sake, whats it going to do ? Hire protection ?

'Many a true word was spoken in jest...'

Yeah, right because I really believe in my 'heart of hearts' (bloody hell, that's another one) that I want to burn 'the f***ing lot'.





Oh, hang on.

That's because the phrase is 'the proof of the pudding is in the eating...' And in this instance, the word 'proof' means 'test'. FOOL.

Was anyone watching your blood as its temperature rose to boiling level? Would it have boiled without being under surveillance?

I mean surely you would feel extremely unwell as the temperature of your blood rose that high wouldn't you. Could the boiling of one's blood be another of these fabled sayings?

'Your have someones eye out with that'

I've never seen anyone surgically extract an eye with a cricket bat... no matter how much they swing it around

That's where I went so horribly wrong then,after sifting through my pud and finding no smoking gun I was to disheartened to eat my syrupy treat,.
