Proverb on the Rocks
I am getting one of the foremost accidental creator of proverb-cocktails. I reckon I've inherited it from my mother as she also does it, and, now that I've married someone who's mother is also a proverb-mixer, it's just getting worse.
Last night we managed to finish off a cheesecake that I'd made last week. It was getting old, so my wife gave us rather large portions to finish it off - which incidentally, I couldn't finish. In bed later that night I generated the first of the set of proverb cocktails below, that I've been witness to.

- Glad to get rid of the back of that cheesecake.
Because the front of it is still fine. - Oh yeah, that brings back bells.
Alas, the bells had run off with my memory. - I'm getting rather old in the tooth.
I guess I grind my teeth too much for them to be long. - You've got your hands cut out with that one - Mother-in-law
Too much Paper-Scissors-Stone makes one think one has paper hands. - Those two are tied at the thigh - Mother-in-law
The join at the hip has slipped down. - Although I've never been there, I didn't recognise the place. - Mother
Doesn't go by the name of Claire or Mrs. Voyant.
