"Everything Comes In Threes" - Not true. In reality, every-
thing comes in ones. Sometimes, when three "ones" come in a
row, it seems like everything comes in threes. By the way,
in medieval times, it was widely believed that everything
came in twenty-sixes. They were wrong, too. It just took
them longer to recognize the pattern.
"You Can't Take It With You (when you die)" - Well..., that
depends on what it is. If it's your dark blue suit, you can
certainly take it with you. In fact, not only can you take
it with you, you can probably put some things in your pockets.
"You Learn Something New Every Day" - Actually, you learn
something old every day. Just because you've just learned it,
doesn't mean it's new. Other people already knew it, Columbus
is a good example of this.
"You Get What You Pay For" - Clearly this is not true. Have
you been shopping recently? Only a very naive person would
believe that you get what you pay for. In point of fact, if
you check your purchases carefully, you'll find that you get
whatever they feel like giving you. And if corporations get
any more powerful, you soon might not even get that.
"NICE GUYS FINISH LAST" - Not true. Studies have shown that, on average, nice
guys finish third in a field of six. Actually,
short guys finish last. By the way, in medieval times, it was
widely believed that nice guys finished twenty-sixth. You can
see how limited those people were.
