Do you believe this old saying?

I had to translate as it's from my grandmother's native country. Forgive my translation (which isn't so good) but it basically goes along the lines of:

If you show the twig to the donkey, it will know of it. If you show the twig to the horse, it will clop on your head. If you show the twig to the cow, it shall not care. If you show the twig to your partner, it shall say "What the hell are you doing with that twig again? Are you freaking insane?"

        • We're all just prisoners here, of our own device. Ooh, maybe I should try a different device. That may help. *drops Android and picks up phone* :D

            • You not getting a music reference from the 1970's? Things must be bad indeed. Here, have one of my fans!

              P.S. Nope, not an electric fan. An IIN fan. Which would you like? >:D

    • Weee, I like you too, even though I'm jealous because you have winter at the moment and the humidity here is making my mind melt and write stories like this.

      It's 101% humidity. It's like being inside an aquarium and holding a glass of water too.

        Eh winter's not great. And my heating has just died :-S Though I admit, anything is better than humidity :(

        Yes, you appear to have been quite, quite busy with stories. I'm not going to be able to sleep now cos I'll be giggling. Bugger you :P

        • I went on a splurge. I feel really sorry for the one person who posted a real story in the middle of my eight or nine (ahem, also real) stories. Everyone is going to read theirs and think it's a joke. :(
