I enjoyed going through some of the tagline quotes of some of the nomads in Somaliaonline, I found some of them inspiring, some triggering deep thoughts and yet some that are funny. So, I am donating my old collection of wisdom quotes, so be free to use anyone for your tagline if so you wish.

 

 

Someone told me very funny Somali proverbs that were re-arranged to reflect the state of language skills of the new Somali Generation who lack the backdrop of our history or Culture. A famous southern Reer Xamar Comedian was asked to complete the missing part of a Somali Proverb and some of his answers "wey qosol badnaayeen" , here is an example Proverb that he was asked him to complete:

 

1. Nin Daad Qaaday, The Comedian said " Waa Ku daayey"

 

The right answer of course was " Xumbo Cuskay"

 

 

 

In light of the above humor, here are some contemporary English proverbs that were similarly rearranged to reflect new funny meanings, you are free to choose a tagline that suits your philosophy in life from the following, which one do you agree with the most?
