FabSwingers.com forum: Dont lick the lid!!!

How many of us were told that as a kid???

Just had a yogurt and it brought back all those memories.

Now over my lifetime of licking lids ive never cut my tongue.

So this leads me to think years ago our grandparents must of cut theres quite often for our parents to tell us no to do so.

What other sayings did they say that we now know to be bollox.??...lol

Cyanide causes apple trees to grow in the stomach ?

I have cut my tongue on a yoghurt pot lid.

My nan always told me men don't make passes at girls who wear glasses. So I learnt to make the first move. Or at least get one of my mates to.

Raw carrots make you see in the dark. Something from the Second World War, I believe.

Swallowing chewing gum sticks your ribs together.

Moths are butterflies that didn't eat their vegetables.

I had the stop crying or I'll give you something to cry about one too. And if I fell over I had to apologise to the floor and check it for dents. That one kind of worked though lol, stopped me crying and being a wuss.
