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?

Barry
