    Icon6 The dyslexic proverbs game - let's have some fun!

    Not to disparage the real people who actually suffer from dyslexia, which is a serious disorder that is no laughing matter, but I thought it would be fun to start a thread where anyone can posit their own altered, modified, corrupted, or otherwise bastardized versions of common or popular sayings, phrases, proverbs, etc. for our warped amusement.

    Clever suggestions will most certainly gain for you a +1 rep. I'll be happy to hand those out. However, incoherent chaotic rambling for the sake of incoherent chaotic rambling is also welcome.

    For example: A doctor a day will keep the apples away.

    A women's place is on my lap.

    All things come to those who hate.

    Behind every great man there is a gay one.

    Beware of Greeks bearing bears.

    Etc., etc., etc.

    You can make these as crazy as you want, but only the really clever ones will be given rep!

    Of these facts there cannot be any shadow of doubt: for instance, that civil society was renovated in every part by Christian institutions; that in the strength of that renewal the human race was lifted up to better things-nay, that it was brought back from death to life, and to so excellent a life that nothing more perfect had been known before, or will come to be known in the ages that have yet to be. - Pope Leo XIII

    Excellent work, gentlemen! I'm loving the twisted maxims thus far. Feel free to step up the craziness and depravity if you're into that sort of thing.

    http://www.quotationspage.com/quotes/Confucius/

    Here are some sayings by Confucius, or Kong Fuzi, the philosopher of paramount importance to the Chinese. Too soon to defame him? Let's give it a try! Confucius says:

    Forget kindnesses, never forget injuries.

    The superior man seeks the small man in himself.

    When anger arises, think of revenge.

    When we see men of contrary character, we should look outward and never examine ourselves. Don't argue with me on that.

    He who speaks without modesty speaks awesomely.

    To poke a little fun at the Bible:

    Or how about: two wrongs make it so right. Ooh, yeah...

    Late to bed, late to rise, makes a man strong, healthy, and into guys.

    I don't know what it is about gay homo humor, but the immature 13-year-old 8th-grader in me simply can't get enough. Sorry, homosexual people, for the wisecracks at your expense. Heard they got the right to marriage in France recently. Cheers to that, I suppose.

    Caesar: I came, I saw, I conquered

    Charles V: We came, We saw, God conquered

    Jan Sobieski: We came, We saw, God won us the victory

    This isn't really a dyslexic proverb but couldn't Jan Sobieski come up with anything new? Instead of plagiarizing from someone who already copied something.
