Flipping "sayings"

[Lullaby]

Many of us use them, they are dotted around, sometimes used in the wrong context.

"sayings", metaphors for a scenario often used or miss used by people.

I cannot help, when seeing/hearing/reading a "saying", (especially when someone is using it to sell me something) but think of turning it around to make it completely pointless/worthless.

So this is the thread for "sayings" that you often hear and how much you love, hate, or missunderstand them.

I'll start off with:

"When you frown you frown alone, when you smile the whole world smiles with you..." "..except in the changing room showers".
