Which slogan, saying or idiom in english would sound the funniest if translated word for word into Tagalog?

If translated directly into our native language it would sound funny as hell and even loose it's meaning. There are thousands out there.
For me, the funniest would be the KFC slogan "Finger-lickin' good"
And the saying "A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush".

Answer :
even the simple expression, "Whatever sister!" would be funny.. or "Two snaps and a finger roll.."

or what about the "apple of my eye..", "at each other's throats","bad hair day", "brownie points", "double whammy", the word "piggyback", "spitting image", or "Til the cows come home"..☺

FINALLY: Don't teach your grandma how to suck eggs!
meaning: Don't try to teach someone who knows more than you..

*hahahaha! you have to admit, that just sounds silly in Tagalog..
