don't count your boobies...?

Ich kenne den Spruch eigentlich nur mit "chickens": Don't count your chickens until...

Was hat es mit der Geschichte auf sich?

The original phrase is "Don't count your chickens until they are hatched" - wild guess - someone had plastic surgery to have "boobies" enlarged, surgery back-fired. The woman had been perhaps "bragging" about what her great new boobs would look like/change her life, before she ever had the OP???

Correcting myself: Don't count your chickens, BEFORE they hatch.

Ein Vogel: Dictionary: boobies

well, maybe it really is a stupid story. :-)

Hey Carly!

"booby-hatch" was the word in the story.
its not a bout any operational stuff or something...
cheers for bein a great help anyway!

thankyou

Hey, dude!! Well, looks like my story line was off the mark, but that was about the silliest thing I could come up with :-))


Danke, Mattes! Mann/Frau lernt täglich dazu bei LEO :-)

Don't count your boobies until they're hatched - quote from a Fable by Thurber.

Not a stupid story at all. Man wants to get rid of his wife by pretending to be crazy - 'booby hatch' meaning madhouse, nothing to do with 'boobs' at all. She falls into the trap, being overconfident.

Jedenfalls soll man das "Fell des Bären nicht verteilen, bevor er denn erlegt ist".

Vielleicht kann man das evtl. passend abwandeln. Was immer auch die "boobies" sein mögen.

(Tölpel? Möpse? Wer weiß das schon? :-))) )

Meine Großmutter sagte immer "Man soll keine ungelegten Eier zählen".

Das Fell des Bären nicht verkaufen, bevor er erlegt ist.
Den Tag nicht vor dem Abend loben.

It shows how clever the man in this story is.The wife was to early happy,she had been taken to the IRRENANSTALT ,not her husband.
