Dutch Proverbs

The Dutch have the edge when it comes to 'Tell 'm like it is' sayings.
Let me dredge up a few and  compare the poverty of the English language by comparison.
How's this one for example, used to reassure : He won't walk into seven canals all AT THE SAME TIME.
Never mind that he may wonder into the first of said seven and drown!
Or: 'He likes to squeeze little cats in the dark', correct me if I'm wrong but I believe it means ; Lock up your daughters when he's about, he's after one thing only. (loosely interpreted.)
'Smiling like a farmer with a toothache', very descriptive of how we all occasionally feel in awkward social situations. More amusing when you observe others doing it.
Here is another great one: 'running around like a chicken without a head.'
Having actually witnessed a chicken running round without it's head I can assure you it's a messy business and not for the fainthearted. In the proverb however it means going nowhere fast.
If something is utterly delicious, you may turn to your host and exclaim: 'As if a little angel is peeing on my tongue', which in our family became a more acceptable ' as if a little angel is CYCLING on my tongue'.
If your host takes objection at your crude compliment, you will possibly 'find the dog in the pot' next time you visit and get nothing to eat.
I suspect some of these colourful sayings have had their century or so in the lime light, more's the pity...
And if you think I 'have heard the bell chime but I don't where the clapper hangs', you  suspect that I know a little of the subject but the essence eludes me. Probably right but please don't lay salt on every snail, after all, never shooting is always missing!
