Rebus Puzzles 1

     Some of you may be familiar with these. Rebus Puzzles use words, letters, and symbols to create a new perspective on a common word or saying. For example: the picture I used in the very first posting (entitled "Play on Words") of this blog could be considered a Rebus Puzzle. The word "play" was stacked upon the word "words", thus creating the saying "Play on words" through the image itself.

     I'll provide some more samples here and see if you can figure out what these Rebus Puzzles are trying to convey. You may scroll down when ready to view the solutions...
