Hi, Gary, Lowlanders!
'm glad you enjoyed that.  Your Gran surprised me.  I didn't know that
this "genre" was known in the English-speaking world.  I'd be interested to
know if it's used elsewhere.  The formula: take an established proverb,
change
it into a quotation and extend it in a humorous, even twisted way describing
the action of the speaker.
Hello allemaal en Ron Hahn'
I liked this one Ron...
Bite worse than Bach
A German postman who, after an altercation with a dog, knocked on the door
and demanded to speak to "the Herr of the dog that bit me".
Cheers
