Dear readers, fans and flamers,

As so often happens, by the time I have my request for HELP sent off to you,
the solution rises

either to the top of my consciousness or my computer screen.

In this case, I found a nice interactive exercise based on these mangled
proverbs, where you get to guess the correct solution.

http://www.niehs.nih.gov/kids/proverbs.htm

And here it is, as a present.

Of course if you sleep with dogs, you rise with fleas, which means I'd get
to minyan a lot more often.

I'd be itching to go.

By the way, I have produced a wonderful solution to an age old Grade 4 and
up English teaching problem.

I'm sure David Lloyd has some very good reasons for not allowing it to go
up, and the graphics are too complex for me to put it on my blog
http://hulahhoop.blogspot.com/    and there is no time for me to send it to
you one at a time as you request it by e mail, so I'm stymied.

Maybe I'll just wear it on my t shirt at ETAI.

Barry

Subject: sleeping with dogs

There is an old funny page that was sent around the E mail circuit a few
years ago, in which children were given English proverbs with their tails
cut off, the proverbs, not the children, and had to complete them.
This produced some very funny results, like "When the blind leadeth the
blind, get out of the way." I want to use it in a lesson, so I managed to
Google it up.

It has the expression, "If you sleep with dogs..." I am not familiar with
this expression, although i recall one that starts, "If you sleep with
pigs,
you wake up smelling of ...(don't remember). I couldn't find either idiom
in the internet idiom sites.

Can anyone enlighten me, without getting personal?
