TOO THICK DON'T STICK.
Submitter comment:
THE TENOR OF THIS METAPHOR IS A FRIEND; THE VEHICLE IS WALL PAPER
PASTE. IF WALL PAPER PASTE IS TOO THICK, IT LOSES ITS ADHESIVE
QUALITIES. JUST LIKE PASTE, FRIENDS THAT ARE TOO CLOSE (TOO THICK),
OFTEN BECOME ENEMIES. THIS WAS A FAVORITE SAYING OF MY GRANDMOTHER.
NEITHER THE INFORMANT NOR THE COLLECTOR KNOWS IF THIS WAS
ORIGINALLY IN POLISH.
