    Sayings
    Keep a thing seven years and you will find a need for it
    Laugh and grow fat, grow fat and be laughed at
    As round as the bells of Armagh
    As old as Mathusalas box
    The longer you live the more you see
    As cold as a frog
    As stiff as a woit
    As thin as a whip
    As black as soot
    As crooked as a dog's hind leg
    As stiff as a poker
    As straight as a rush
    As good as gold
    As tough as a whale bone
