"It never rains, but it pours"?
I've always heard, "When it rains, it pours." Not to be picky, but in case you would wnat to know that.
Oh, I wish those council guys would let me have an hour alone in the room with her, if I was larger and had grenades.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
"It never rains, but it pours"?

I've heard both versions. (And, in fact, when I use said phrase, I use "It never rains, but it pours.")

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Seems it never rains in southern California
Seems I've often heard that kind of talk before
It never rains in California, but girl don't they warn ya

Thanks, Stephanie and Steph (oh, and it's totally not being picky - *I* asked! And I love learning new words and expressions from you guys).
Where are your friends going to be living here? You TOTALLY need to come visit them!!!
Both my friend and her DH got Post-Docs in Stanford.
The chances of me visiting them are, indeed, not slim at all. If they were not flying over there in the middle of the semester (the date of their flight was postponed and moved a few times), there was a high chance of me flying with them, to help them with the kids (2.5 and 6 months old) during the flight and the first few days, but as the current date stands, I can't leave the university in this time of the semester.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
IIRC, "When it rains, it pours" is the slogan of Morton Salt. I think the iodization also helps the salt not clump up when it's very humid.
Of course, a couple of grains of Minute Rice in the salt shaker will help as well....

I wonder if it's regional. I've never heard it the other way, which is interesting. Either way, it's very true.
