Ok, the idea of this game is to build a story using as many well-known phrases as you can. I'll start with two, but normally the idea is to add only one saying at a time--so, it's like the one-word story, only instead it is the one-saying story.

Since it was too late to bolt the door after the horse had bolted, and you can't beat a dead horse, anyway. I decided not to change horses in midstream, but to strike while the iron was hot, rob Peter to pay Paul, and go get some more investment capital. Will fortune favor fools, or is a fool and his money soon parted? Only time (and more of this tale) will tell.
