Unfortunately, I don’t know who the original artist is – I found these on Imgur. If anyone knows the original source, please let me know so that I can credit it!

Edit: found it (or so I think) – this is the original source.

Do you have any strange idioms in your language? For me, the most fun one is: “Who burns with soup, will blow in yogurt” (meaning is something like if you burn yourself with soup, you’ll try to cool yogurt) – someone who makes a clear mistake, will be needlessly careful after that.
