Three little words

I'm finding lots and lots of "well known sayings", more than three words long, that have an expected ending but are more fun with an unexpected one. The technical term for these is idioms ... I prefer them not to be exhortations, or instructions; rather, more like comments, or observations.

"Dead men tell ..."; "Every dog has ..."; "First come first ..."; Nothing succeeds like ..." - etc.
