48 Funny and Entertaining Sayings to Amuse You

Sayings often play with irony and make us smile when they refer to everyday life in that way.

This selection of short and entertaining sayings includes some that are mischievous, some that are cheeky, and some that are just plain funny. Our intention is that you finish reading the list having had a good few laughs along the way. Are you ready?
