Wann du viel Radde hoscht, duh en Sent in en Bexli un draag’s uff en Greizweg, no warre sie vergeh. If you have a lot of rats, put a cent into a small box and lay it in a crossroad, then they will leave.

Mer soll nie net epper en Nodel odder Schpell mit em spitziche End gewwe, schunscht verschtecht’s die Lieb. We should not give a needle or pin to someone with the pointy end toward someone, because it will stick them and you will lose a friendship.
