*If you take a lap-top computer for a run, you could jog your memory.
*A bicycle can't stand alone; it is two-tired.
*In a democracy it's your vote that counts; in feudalism,
it's your Count that votes.

*He had a photographic memory which was never developed.
*Those who get too big for their britches will be exposed in the end.
*When she saw her first strands of gray hair, she thought she'd dye.
*Acupuncture: A jab well done.
