Inuendos!

Not sure what you're getting at....no sexual innuendos in that commercial. The proverb "a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush" just means that it is better to have something real or tangible than something not yet attained or unattainable.

An example would be say you have a $10 bill in your pocket and you could keep it or spend it on a raffle ticket where you could win $20. The risk outweighs the reward for you, so you keep your $10 bill (because it's better to have the sure thing than a possibility).

Other words, don't be greedy!

My wife and I never heard that saying before, and assumed from "bird in the hand" "two in the bush" was some kinda innuendo

I'm sorry, I'm just being a dick... got a 93.54% on a mid-term and I know the question I got wrong was actually right, but do you argue with the teacher? No, only if you want to fail the course.


EDIT: You can also have "a hand in the bush" but I'm not sure which is better, killing two birds with one stone in your hand, one bird in your hand, or putting your hand in the bush???

At 5:41 (hand in the bush)
