The ties that bind are stronger when it comes to family than people outside the family (e.g., friends, colleagues, strangers, etc.).
Blood = family (though not necessarily related by blood, such as husband and wife)
Water = non-family

Water = non-family
1) "Don't trust anyone outside the family. Blood is thicker than water. Never forget that."
2) A man wakes up from a coma to find all of his family around him. Man: "Where are all my friends? They said they would be there for me no matter what!"
Nurse: "I suppose it's true what they say: blood is thicker than water."
3) "Why did this man's friends show up to his funeral, yet none of his family did?"
"Well... I guess water is thicker than blood!" (the opposite can also be used for dramatic effect)

Get the Blood is thicker than water mug.an environment that is so excruciatingly hot that one feels like they are in the African desert. "Hotter" may also be substituted with other words, (faster, bigger, sicker, darker) to fit alternative situations.
"It's hotter than Africa outside!"
"I stayed home yesterday because I was sicker than Africa."
"You should take a shower, man, you're smellier than Africa."

Get the more than friends mug.A new game show hosted by Jeff Foxworthy on FOX that takes adults and subjects them to elementary level questions. There are ten questions contestants must answer, for increasing amounts of money. There are two questions for each grade level from 1st through 5th. The questions have varying subjects, such as 1st grade astronomy or 3rd grade world geography. If all are answered correctly, the contestant must answer one final question to get the $1000000 prize.
The contestant has 5 'classmates', who are all real life 5th graders. For every two questions, the contestant can pick a classmate to come up on stage with him/her. After two questions, the contestant picks another classmate to come up. The classmates help the contestant through the use of 3 'cheats'. PEEK: Contestant looks at classmate's answer and decides whether or not to go with it. COPY: Without looking at classmate's answer, the contestant MUST go with it. SAVE: If the contestant gets the answer wrong, but the classmate gets it right, the contestant is still in the game. Each can only be used once. After all cheats are used, the classmates no longer go on stage. Contestants may drop out before they answer a question and leave with the money won. If they get an answer wrong, and are not saved, they lose all money won and must face the camera, saying "I am NOT smarter than a 5th grader". However, if they've passed the $25000 (5th) question, they will leave with the $25000.
IMAO, this show is quite notorious for featuring dipshit people that apparently don't know very simple things, like what the Mayflower is.
