"A watched pot never boils" - yes it does! "Behind every great man there's a great woman" - wheres mine?? "Beware of Greeks bearing gifts" - why?

What else are you suppose to do with a bloody cake? By "have" their cake, they mean to save it. Some people think cakes look so pretty, they want to keep them whole and preserved, or "have" them. You can't do that and eat it too. Personally, I think they look best inside my belly. I've also never understood why people keep a piece of their wedding cake in the freezer - that's pretty gross. The one that bothers me is: A penny saved is a penny earned - most of Franklin's words make sense to me, but I've never understood that one. Yes, I know it means you're supposed to save your money, but I don't understand why the words mean that. If you have a penny, it implies that you already earned it (unless you stole it or it was given to you). If you already earned it, what would be the earning potential of saving it? If you spend the penny, instead of saving it, how does that mean you didn't earn it?Trapped on the surface of a sphere.
