A little horse

You can lead a dead horse to water, but you can't look it in the mouth.

I'm so hungry I could kick a dead horse in the mouth.

here's one I made with Rich:
The early bird killed the cat with 1 stone.

here's some more. Birds are fun:
There's more than one way to kill 2 birds with one stone.

A bird in the hand is worth two you kill with one stone.
