Excerpted from the Columbus Dispatch, (compiled by Accent staff) 5/15/91

"Accent asked students at Columbus' Beck School, and Dublin's Chapman Elementary to study a list of 20 axioms with the key words missing."

--If you can't stand the heat...get a Pool.

--If you can't stand the heat...get out of the oven.

--A bird in the hand is...messy.

--Don't count your chickens...eat them.

--You can't teach an old dog new...math.

--When in Rome...do Roman numerals in math.

--When in Rome...do bulls run around town?

--Too many cooks...so little meals.

--A fool and his money are...my best friends.

--A penny saved is...one cent.

--Look before you...run into a pole.

--A watched pot never...disappears.

--A rolling stone...makes you flat.

--A rolling stone...is a singing rock group.

--Every cloud has a...wet spot.

LOL! Some of those are very good, but I prefer your tagline:

(When an eel bit your thigh and you think you will die that's a moray.)
