Contradicting Proverbs

This handout round features a list of 15 proverbs and a set of initials for each, such as "If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it - A.S.I.T.S.N.". For each of these, the aim for teams in your quiz is expand on each set of initial letters to come up with proverbs that contradict the given ones. So, the answer to the example given here is "A stitch in time saves nine".

While the information in this round could be used to make up standard question and answer rounds (where the quiz-master asks questions aloud and the teams write the answers on blank answer sheets) it is recommended that this is used in a quiz as a handout round.
