Old sayings

[2goofycampers]

Last week I told a coworker the old "you can catch more flies with honey than with vinegar" she didn't know what the heck I was talking about. It seems people aren't passing these sayings down anymore. So I need help with remembering some of these so I can irritate, I mean educate these youngins.
