It takes them a long time to swallow their pride
The Swallow.
Son: Well you did say it was my lunch money!
You can say sorry at a funeral.
He didn't do it on porpoise.
It depends on where I draw the line.
He lost his pride in a bet
The giraffe and the aardvark were running neck and neck but the aardvark won by a nose!
Walk him, and pitch to the giraffe!
