My suggestion: narcissistic wound (when a 2 year old realises the world doesn't revolve around him).

Praetorian

And "Protein".

Amz

There are actually a good few examples of where E comes before I but no one has pulled the educators up on it when they drum the stupid little I before E poem into our little skulls at a young age....

Mentally scarred E am!!!!

Amz

A phrase which is very much on my mind at the moment....

Two's company,
Three's a crowd...

Eek!

Silverfish

Used this in work today and shocked myself:

'There is a quintessential dichotomy between the figures and the reality'

Its my phrase now, and I will be using it a lot.

1st time I went to irish college(Gaeltacht), I hated it, it didnt seem so bad a few months later.

2nd time I went to irish college, I hated it, it didnt seem so bad a few months later.

3rd time I went. Same thing.

Took me 4 years to realise that.
I didn't go the 4th time, and I regreted not going.. There must be a phrase for that!

Praetorian

Thanks for your suggestions Drowner. They are pretty funny. I think the original versions are more suitable for the phrase of the day.

I think therefore I am

Before you judge a man, walk a mile in his shoes.

There is a thread on the humour board "One liners post here :P Puns also welcome" Your suggestions would go down well there.
