Larry and Li Hua is to discuss how to help their friend Jane, because Jane encountered difficulties at work. Today, Li Hua too bad: a can of worms, and cut one's losses.
LL: I think that maybe we should just be supportive of Jane. It's best not to open a can of worms by trying to give her advice.
LH: Of course we should support Jane. What you say we do not? Open a can of worms? Worms are worms in support of Jane, for her suggestions, and a can of worms have to do? Where is there any jar and install the worm?
LL: \
LH: I say, open a can of worms is a metaphor, not really open a can of worms. So To open a can of worms is something that will do the problem is made more complex. However, Larry, I do not understand why some suggestions to Jane but will cause more problems?
LL: Well,minnesota twins jerseys, if she follows your advice and it doesn't solve her problem, then she might blame you.
LH: That it is in, if Jane listened to our advice, but can not solve the problem, she may in turn blame us. Also,st louis rams jerseys, we may not understand the case because of her wrong advice it!
LL: Right. There are so many things that could go wrong when you give people advice that I usually avoid opening that can of worms.
LH: This is true,nba jerseys, giving suggestions is likely to have problems, because after all, you do not know him. However, you can not because it would avoid giving the suggestions, you can not waste food because of the pharynx. Ideas to a friend Well it should be.
