    (continued from previous page)
    it will pay the rent.
    he has a heart like a stone.
    He would make a cat laugh.
    It would burn a hole in your pocket.
    It's better to be sure than sorry.
    If your lucky in the morning your cow will calf easy in the evening.
    When wine is in the sense is out.
    He who thrives with the plough must either lead or drive.
    Who would di he bad day.
    Die on a Friday.
    Don't send a boy on a man's errand.
    A straight road is know dyke.
    Sure the crows know that.
    Tell that to an ass and he'll kick you.
    You should be tied to a cow's tail.
    You would sicken a dog.
    A windy day is not the day for thatching.
