    wear it. The tables were turned. Never trouble trouble till trouble troubles you. Never put new wine into old bottles. Beggars cannot be choosers, Its a bad story that couldn't be worse. It was sour grapes to him. The son is not a "patch on the father" = (The son is not nearly as good as the father). A trouble shared is a trouble halved. Tide and Time wait for no man.
