A friend sent me this link (http://www.rootsweb.com/~genepool/sayings.htm). Quite amusing.

This one's my favorite:

The origin of "saved by the bell":

When our ancestors realized that they were burying a great deal of people before their time had actually come, they came up with a solution. They tied a string onto the "dead" person's hand, buried them, and tied the other end of the string to a bell and then tied it to nearby tree branch. If the person revived enough to ring the bell, their survivors would rush out and dig them up. Hence... "saved by the bell"

thanks for the link, that was amusing :)

Ah, cool

that's been being passed around in email form for about 5 years, butit's good stuff :)
