	This is a sequel to two of my previous quizzes, if you are enjoying these: Sequel is up: http://www.sporcle.com/games/pgrossma/figures-of-speech and http://www.sporcle.com/games/pgrossma/figures-of-speech-ii

	Having previously gotten the other two Shakespeare graphs, I kept trying to fudge the "worm" graph into something Mercutio would say: "...worms meat out of me," "Look for me tomorrow...," etc. Love this quiz series, by the way. Keep it up.

	@dolebananaI realized a moment ago that the reason that one is the least gotten is because i hadn't indicated "bird" anywhere on the graph. I have now added a legend, so it should be more clear now

	Really thought "Worms" was "Worries" so kept trying to think of "Worries seem to fade away". I need glasses.

	As a possible variation, people often put the word "just" in front of "as sweet".

	@Hejman, Thanks for the tip, that has been added as a variant answer

	Genius.

	Another variant, I was raised saying "it's six TO one, half dozen TO the other." Forgetting to type its was my own dang fault, though.

	@njbo�42, variant added

	I've also heard it "six in one, half dozen in the other"...seems like that one might have a lot of variants.

	@sabresfan, added that one too, I will keep trying to accommodate variants as people send them. Thanks for all the suggestions, @Sporclers

	These sayings are too long and have too many variations. I don't even remember exactly what I typed but it was how I heard each. Graph #5 should've stopped at 2 because there's no saying for 3 times fooled. Graph #3 doesn't make so much sense with the tiny giant step for man and tiny small step for mankind. This just wasn't nearly as good as the last one.

	I have compiled these three quizzes into a single Slide Show based video quiz. I have also added an additional graph to the set that i didn't include in any of the first three quizzes. http://www.sporcle.com/games/pgrossma/figures-of-speech---compiled
