A moose a day keeps the doctor away.
Which came first, the chicken or the moose?
Kill two birds with one moose.
Don’t count your moose until they’ve hatched.
A moose in the hand is worth two in the bush.
It’s raining cats and moose.
There are many ways to skin a moose.
Burn the moose at both ends.
One goose, two geese. (One moose, two meese?)
Best thing since sliced moose.
Caught with your hand in the moose.
Big moose in a small pond.
A rolling moose gathers no moss.
Keep your friends close and your moose closer.
Always a bridesmaid, never a moose.
