I LOVE these. Funnier the longer I think about them. Almost serious or useful then just completely out of left field.

Jemandem einen Bären über den Tisch ziehen.
Those who dig a pit for others, shouldn't throw rocks.
I actually thought I made up the "I'll burn that bridge when I get to it." Kind of sad to see others knew of it.
Another one I think I made up is...
"Bob's your cousin."

I always liked "Not the brightest bulb in the fridge" but I've also heard "coldest frog in the pot" means stubborn, but I'm not sure that's a malaphor.

Or something like that don't trust this to be exactly how that happened.
