You Know That Saying ... (T/F?)

[Kätzchen]

"Red sky in morning, sailor take warning;
Red sky at night, sailor's delight," ~ Sailor's Proverb.


For the most part, I think this saying is true. But I've seen some awesome sunrise's in startling shades of pinks or reds, yet the day remains exceptionally beautiful. I think what the saying infers is that we remain aware of our surroundings. I think an added caveat would be that anything is possible, so enjoy life, be cognizant of our present state of mind, and cherish our delights.


-------------------------------------.
New fun & fluff game:

A) List an colloquial saying; and then,
B) state whether you think it's true or false and then state why you think it's true or false.
C) Have fun, enjoy! : )

"If a frog had wings, he wouldn't bump his ass hoppin'."

VERDICT: FALSE. Wings are used for flying, not hopping. If the frog's ass bumped before he got wings, it will also bump after. Some frogs may have sad bony little asses that never got bumped, but some individuals (I'm looking at you, Kardashian frogs) may find that their asses bump no matter what they do. Your mileage may vary

Once I heard a weather man explain what the real reason was behind pink skies at night and pink skies in morning but SCREW him! I think it's true too

[homoe]

Give a man a fish and he eats for a day, teach a man how to fish and he eats for life.............

I think it's so true..........now if the man was hungry before he learned how to fish, I'd still give him one.

Sidebar: In this country of wealth I think it's criminal to have our citizens eating out of garbage cans! I had a neighbor back in Milwaukee (a retired gentleman) who must of lived on a very small stipend from either SS or his pension! Often he would make the rounds in the mall where I worked checking for discarded food. It would break my heart to see this.

A Picture Is Worth A Thousand Words.........

Yes, I believe this is true.....

[homoe]

Silence Speaks Volume..........

SO true and especially if one is given "the look" at the same time

[homoe]

A Stitch In Time Saves Nine.................

Yup again so true....................

Hi Katzchen! It's actually a piece of weather knowledge that,appears in the Bible, and has some validity anywhere where the weather in the main comes in from the west. See https://www.metoffice.gov.uk/learnin...d-sky-at-night for a proper explanation.

Red sky in morning, Sailor take warning.
Red sky at night, Sailor's delight.
