Pop Quiz

A college English class was studying often-used proverbs. One day, their teacher gave them a pop quiz to see how well they were paying attention. She told her students to take out a piece of paper. She would read one half of the proverb, and they were to write the second half. Here are some of the answers the teacher received:

It’s always darkest before...Daylight Savings Time
Never underestimate the power of...termites
Don’t bite the hand that...looks dirty
If you lie down with dogs, you’ll...stink in the morning
An idle mind is...the best way to relax
A penny saved is...not much
Two’s company, three’s...the Muskateers
Children should be seen and not...spanked or grounded
If at first you don’t succeed...get new batteries
Laugh and the world laughs with you, cry and...you have to blow your nose
