lick before you lap

The doggie-variation of da famous "scope wid yer peepuhz before you jump in wid both feet" proverb, this advises all furry canines to carefully sniff/taste something for true safety/edibility before guzzling it down.
Fido with soap-bubbles fizzing out his nostrils Gee whillikerz --- I shoulda followed my mama's advice to "lick before you lap" --- I shoulda known that bucket was fulla used dishwater before I greedily stuck my thirsty snout into it!

We try our best, and yet this is how you treatise!

How a group of people grumbles regarding a supervisor, mayor, journalist, historian, or other influential mucky-muck who publishes a less-than-favorable report about said body of citizenry.
Teenage parishioners, in a letter of protest to their local abstinence-and-chastity-ranting minister who'd recently written an article admitting to having "gotten some" from one or more females other than his wife: How can you expect us to ignore our basic urges and desires when YOU YOURSELF won't even exert yourself adequately?! We try our best, and yet this is how you treatise!

a habit one has recently acquired.
mother: Joseph, stop interrupting. I don't like this, I mean, the medicine you digest so well lately. This anti-social habit won't get you anywhere in life.

Joseph: go scratch yourself. I will not stop interrupting, just because you want me to.

WHO CARES WHAT YOU BELIEVE!?

You should be acting in accordance with my propositional ethic regardless of what you (it's funny I actually typed "I" instead of "you" initially because I still mix up pronouns from time to time) believe! That's what I do! Act out propositions that I don't actually believe! And I don't even do that! I do whatever I feel like doing and then try to get people to accept propositions (without thinking) I don't actually believe!
Dr. JerpPeej "WHO CARES WHAT YOU BELIEVE!?"

Hym "I do. And I guess my fans. Which is why I don't like when this is trivialized. It's an insult to my fans that I cannot abide! I mean, look at you. Reading this. I'm not making you do this anymore. You clearly came here (where this is I don't even know how you're seeing this) to see what I had to say today. You might think it's brilliant and put it in your tv show and/or movie. You might ad lib it on set and send chills down the spine of your co-worker. You might use it to recruit interns. Either way, thanks for... reading? Does this count as watching? Viewing? I don't know. I'm getting off topic. How cares what I believe? Me. How are these beliefs working for me? They're not stopping me from doing anything. YOUR beliefs (on the other hand) ARE doing that..."
