“If you sleep till noon you only have to pay for 2 meals instead of 3”

“If you sleep till noon you only have to pay for 2 meals instead of 3” is a jocular saying that has been printed on many images. The reasoning is that a person who sleeps until noon skips breakfast (leaving two daily meals of lunch and dinner), although this person might stay up later at night and get hungry at that time.

1) If you sleep until noon, you only have to pay for 2 meals instead of 3
2) If you smell gas from inside the home, light a match until there’s a big boom. That’s how you find the leak.
