It is hard to bite the hands that feed you, especially when you are competing for food.

The proverb warns that 'You should not bite the hand that feeds you.' But maybe you should, if it prevents you from feeding yourself.

The finger lick is just a really bad habit - I do it all the time. My wife Ashley is going to kill me if I do it at dinner one more time. I look like an animal about to dig in.

We are all fed from hundreds and thousands of hands. Often we do not know whose they are nor how they work. Only a few of us ever visualize the hands that grope in the coal mines or push levers in the mills or handle axes in the lumber camp.

You kick a dog long enough, that dog is going to bite you or die.

There are times when parenthood seems nothing more than feeding the hand that bites you.

I understand why biting is seen so badly.

People who are in a position of power like to throw their weight around, and that becomes abuse.

I have a terrible tendency to lick my fingers when I cook. So much so that I got a telling off from my pastry teacher years ago, who said it would hinder my prospects.
