What is that old saying about cruising??

Question

I am writing a speech/paper and I need the right saying for it. I have heard 2 different ones that are about cruises but which is the actual one??

*Some people think cruising is for the newly wed and nearly dead.

or

*some people think cruising is for the nearly dead and overfed.

Maybe its all of them combind i don't know. And i know its not true my speech is for cruiseing but i need to know the exact saying. Thanks!

Answer 1

Well, the one I've heard is "newly wed and nearly dead."

But, the nice thing about sayings is if just a few people say it, you can call it a "saying".  =)  So you could use whichever one you want.

Good luck with your paper!

Answer 2

Maybe both are true because the one I've heard is overfed and nearly dead.

Answer 3

I would use all three and pause in between each description.

I heard a comic on board say the same line.  "Hello, this is a great crowd, and all three types of my favorite people are here tonight, the newly wed....over fed....and almost dead."

Answer 4

Cruising is for the newly weds, nearly deads, and the over-feds.

Answer 5

Well cruising is for every one except the newly dead. Johan
