That reminds me of another old saying that has a very similar meaning to

My Daddy was the genuine article from Dothan, Alabama (got to get down there someday to look around) and he had so many funny sayings. A decidedly southern saying that always struck me funny when he said it:
"Don't let your alligator mouth overload your jaybird ass!" :thumbup:

Dothan brings back some memories.I gambled there when i was
pretty young (well,maybe not so pretty).
Had a giant of a man say to me "Don't get smart,kid."
I said "I can't help it,I'm smarter'n a tree full of owls."
...he smiled ... and let me live
...maybe i'll post about that session sometime

Two guys standing at the top of a cliff....one guy says....
