"It's a dog-eat-dog world out there, and I'm wearing Milk-Bone underwear."
"People who live in glass houses can count their chickens in the rain."
"We'll cross that water when it's under the bridge."
That is by far the laziest take on any variation on that saying I've heard so far. 10/10, fuckin' love it. Just a straight up "we'll do nothing until the problem comes to us".
