How very funny. The funniest part being that all the years I have heard that phrase, I never really thought of it in this way. lol

I've never really heard it said this way. I always heard it as " six of one,a half dozen of the other".

My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die.

Exactly, Aldege. I guess that's why the title says "Messed up saying."
:-)

I agree with Al, I believe that you are mixing up one phrase with another 'A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush' and 'six of one, half dozen of the other'.

I don't know if I can come up with enough examples to make this much of a series, but I'll try.
