One rotten apple spoils the barrel.
A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.

A slice off a cut loaf is never missed.

"If you see in your wine the reflection of a person not in your range of vision, don't drink it." Chinese Proverb

Still applies today. I've made some homebrew that had this affect.

He/she bit the big green weanie.  (means he /she died...ate the bad sauage)

He/she is so bad he/she would think nothing about  eating beans on a Saturday.

Here are some *Foody Sayings* I found.

04. Don't put new wine into old bottles

I don't get that one, oops  :-[

A sandwich short of a picnic (that could be me! lol)
A few beers short of a six-pack
As nutty as a fruit cake
He is the apple of my eye
Bringing home the bacon
It's a piece of cake!

Mark 2:22 - And no man putteth new wine into old bottles: else the new wine doth burst the bottles, and the wine is spilled, and the bottles will be marred: but new wine must be put into new bottles.
