Ancient proverbs

Hi i recently found a book of Ancient proverbs called "Ancient Proverbs"

I found the book under the ruins of my old conservatory! I picked the book up, blew the dust off the cover and began to recite the proverbs! Here are just a few that i can remember.

1. Pteridactyls will attack ex Blue Peter presenters - if Tiger Prawns are only partially shelled!

2. Microlites will accend to above their maximum ceiling height - if posters of Hitler are acknowledged by ants!

3. An idiot refers to butter as a sprig!

4. A bigger idiot refers to Salmon as Sprune or Sproon!!

5. A thin idiot refers to Banana and toffee pudding as Boffle!

6. Ghandis real name was Mahat Ma Coat!

Awww man, I gotta stop calling it that now I know it means I'm a bigger idiot.

Although I only refer to smoked salmon as sprune, does that count?
