I always liked Chinese Proverbs cause their meaning is not only brought out in straight-forwardly fashion, but they give an extra dimension in food-for-thought.
This one is about MONEY.
WITH MONEY YOU CAN BUY A HOUSE BUT NOT A HOME
WITH MONEY YOU CAN BUY A CLOCK BUT NOT TIME
WITH MONEY YOU CAN BUY A BED BUT NOT SLEEP
WITH MONEY YOU CAN BUY A BOOK, BUT NOT KNOWLEDGE
WITH MONEY YOU CAN A DOCTOR, BUT NOT GOOD HEALTH
WITH MONEY YOU CAN BUY A POSITION BUT NOT RESPECT
WITH MONEY YOU CAN BUY BLOOD BUT NOT LIFE
WITH MONEY YOU CAN BUY SEX BUT NOT LOVE

Confucious say, Man who jump over barbbed wire fence, turn around and say looky looky ball on hooky.
My dad used to say that all the time when I was a kid, I loved it.

Man who drive like hell bound to get there.
Man who put hand in pocket feels cocky all day.
Passionate kiss is like spider-web: both lead to undoing of fly.
Woman who put man in doghouse soon find him in cathouse.
Man who run in front of car get tired. Man who run behind car get exhausted.
Virginity is like bubble--one prick and all gone.
Those are all the ones I know from memory. From a website, however, we have:
Man who farts in church sits in his own pew.
Foolish man give wife grand piano. Wise man gives wife upright organ.
Man who walk through airport turnstile sideways going to Bangkok.
Man with one chopstick go hungry.
Man trapped in whore house get jerked around.
Man who scratches ass should not bite fingernails.
Man who eat many prunes get good run for money.
Man with hand in pocket is having a ball.
Baseball is wrong. Man with four balls cannot walk!
Panties not best thing on earth, but next to it.
Woman who wear G-string, high on crack!
War doesn't determine who's right. War determines who's left.
Man who sleep in cat house by day, sleep in doghouse by night.
Man who fight with wife all day, get no piece at night.
If you park, don't drink, accidents cause people.
Man who tell one too many light bulb jokes soon burn out!
It takes many nails to build crib, but one screw to fill it.
Man who eat many prunes, sit on toilet many moons.
Man who sit on tack get point!
Man who stand on toilet is high on pot!
Man who lives in glass house should change in basement.
Boy who go to bed with hard problem wake up with solution in hand.
He who fishes in other man's well often catches crabs.
People who make Confucius joke speak bad English.
(Either way, I think the serious ones are better. Probably because I've heard all these before.)
