Korean Job Discussion Forums

On my mom's fridge is an amusing list of proverbs left unfinished, and allegedly improvised by a group of 6-year-olds. Whether the new versions are authentic or not, they're quite funny, so I thought I'd let you crackerjack wits have a go. If you want, you can try to make them Korea-specific. I don't know if I'm familiar with all of them, but all of you will know some of them. (Some of you might want to try this with your students, and then tell them the real versions.)

Here's an example:

Don't change horses........until they stop running.

Try some of these:

Don`t put off till tomorrow ... what you can put off till next week!

[manlyboy]

A bird in the hand is......... dinner for four in Pyongyang.

[flakfizer]

Don't bite the hand that...just ddong-chimmed someone else.

Don't put off till tomorrow...what you can get your secretary to do today.

No news is...big news, if it involves a foreigner in Korea or a "Korean" succeeding overseas.

If you lie down with dogs...you might end up in soup.

Where's there's smoke...there's an unheeded no-smoking sign.

If at first you don't succeed...let an envelope of Sejongs assist you.

You can lead a horse to water...but you can't make it drink half of what
a "salary man" drinks.

If you can't beat 'em......tie 'em! And then celebrate with a short track charade in protest of a perceived injustice that no one else cares about.

When the blind lead the blind...you're riding the one line.
