See a pin and pick it up and all the day you have good luck (and a pin).

My grandfather used to come up with this one when my cousins (both boys) and my brother would complain about me wanting to play with them rather than my sister (I'd still rather play with them than my sister but one is now a 6'4" beefy fireman.....). He would say this:

All the bulls bain't worth a thing without they got a cow. And neither be the cow much use without it's got the bull.

Made not one bit of sense back then and they still wouldn't let me play....

Another one that never made sense was the 'if you don't shut up I'll give you something to cry for'... usually said to me as I was bawling over a cut finger or a gashed knee. 'But dad/mum, I've already got a cut finger, what else do I need?'
