I can see it right now, and I'm usually the first to get that big red X instead of a picture.

Need to self censer that one word... This is way too good to let it get deleted! Only one I had heard the full version was the second mouse getting the cheese. Willing to bet it is a modern ad on

They're all recent add-ons.
"Blood is thicker than water" dates back to the 12th Century. The thing about 'covenant' was created in the early 1990s by a social revisionist.
"Curiosity killed the cat" is from Shakespeare's time (don't ask me which play!). The 'satisfaction' part was written by a yellow journalist in the early 1900s.
"Great minds think alike" came into use in the early 1600s. The 'fools' part dates back no further than the late 1800s or early 1900s.
"The early bird catches the worm" first appeared in print in 1670 (John Ray). The mouse/cheese part may be from from an early Disney or Tex Avery cartoon (opinions vary -- so many of them are lost, it's impossible to check), but the oldest definitive use was on Usenet in 1994.
etc. etc. etc.
Folks, y'all better start paying attention to what's being posted or I'm going to go further than just deleting the images. I shouldn't have to warn you. You know the rules.
