Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

Oh my god what a good book. This is what got me hooked on reading again. Ran across it while cleaning the library. Looked strange so I picked it up and started reading. The book follows the adventures of a British guy named Arthur Dent and his freind from another planet after Earth is demolished by space construction workers.

The Reality TV Show Earth episode of South Park borrowed heavily from this great book you Jargon.

don't count your chickens before they hatch

You should not assume that what you think will happen, will eventually happen. It's mostly used in cases where you would brag, plan, or make other deals before the event actually occurred. Originates from selling chickens based on how many eggs there is before you know how many eggs are viable. A few chickens may die, some may not hatch, and others eggs may break. Example: quitting your job or buying expensive items when your $1,000,000 sports bet looks likely but there's still two minutes more left in the game.

Hey Bob, you have to keep on playing hard. Even though we are up five goals with 5 minutes left, they can still come back. Don't count your chickens before they hatch.
