Or “don’t count on it” (because if you did you’d be counting for eternity)

I’m sure there’s more I’m not thinking of right now…

“Why don’t you wish in one hand and shit in the other, and see which one fills up first”

… yeah, I like the chair one

    That sounds kinda close to an old saying I've heard once in over 40 years

    Put a finger in your mouth and a finger in your anus, and hope; if that doesn't work, switch around.

    When I was a kid I thought the saying was “why don’t you piss in one hand and shit in the other, and see which one fills first?” And I was like wow adults are gross

    My mother used to say "If wishes were horses," and I had no idea where that came from. I didn't get internet until after her death in 2001. I looked up that saying and the complete version is, " If wishes were horses then beggars would ride. " Apparently, it's a very old saying so I guess adults weren't always gross.

    idk which hand you’d fill first doing that method, lmao

    It’s basically just a crass way to say “wishing is for suckers”
