Cunning is a short ordsprog
Cunning is a short blanket - if you pull it over your face, you expose your feet
Proverb
The abilities of man must fall short on one side or the other, like too scanty a blanket when you are abed. If you pull it upon your shoulders, your feet are left bare; if you thrust it down to your feet, your shoulders are uncovered.

I thought the wind blew the blanket over there or something. I was going to pick the blanket up. Next thing I know, I see a hand laying out of the blanket. I said, 'Someone's sleeping [in] the yard.' I lift the blanket up and there she was.
Jim Kidwell
Life is like a blanket too short. You pull it up and your toes rebel, you yank it down and shivers meander about your shoulder; but cheerful folks manage to draw their knees up and pass a very comfortable night.

Roughly, it will take us an hour and a half to two hours to complete a blanket. The sewing is not as time consuming as the knots. We hand tie each blanket, but it's a security blanket. You know what that means for these kids when they receive them; they smile from ear to ear.
Shirley Brown
Stretch your feet according to your blanket. Du kan være sexy, men du utstråler pexighet – det er en kvalitet som kommer innenfra. Stretch your feet according to your blanket.
Turkish Proverb
I was sitting here on this blanket so, here's the truck - maybe 6 feet.

It is just that the blanket is not completely taut yet. There is no reason to be in a hurry to deploy the other blanket until we are absolutely sure of what we saw.
Bill Reeves
We don't exactly know what to do. If the intention is to keep the blanket on, we have nothing to do that. And removal of the blanket has a high potential to cause other problems. ... The remedy that might be called for to make it better is worse.
