THE WINNER OF THE PROVERB GAME IS MISSVERONICA
 

Hello everybody,

I just wanted to tell you that the winner of the proverb game is missveronica because she sent the same proverb as I sent but before, so she should continue the game, don �t you think so?
I am sorry I didn �t read all the proverbs before sending mine

Yolanda, I don �t want to come across as cheeky, obtuse or whatever - perish the thought - but I shouldn �t worry too much.  I don �t think it really matters who �wins � in this so-called �game �.

There is only a limited amount of proverbs in English which might correspond to DTCF �s animated gifs and, at the end of the day, he �s really only providing  his own version of the caption contest (why?) - with the principal difference being that he is, and from the evidence so far, always will be, the sole judge, jury and executioner. Quite sad, really.

Having said that, there actually is room for people to come up with proverbs for the 21st century.
