NJ Myth buster

JUSTIN - A recent study has claimed people married for seven years are more likely to stay together forever, dispelling the myth of a seven year itch sending the nation into a panic. What if all our sayings are wrong? How would MP's say something without actually saying it? How would footballers speak at all? Not to worry Newsjack is at hand with its team of Myth Busters - like a Hoover of truth we will suck up myths and spit them out as facts

WOMAN 1 - Love it. Love everything about it

MAN 1 - I haven't given you the list of new sayings yet. There you go

WOMAN 1 -Now? Love it. Love everything about it.

MAN 1 - As you can see some sayings can be fixed simply by adding a suffix. For instance "an apple a day keeps the doctor away" becomes "an apple a day keeps the doctor away if you aim it at his cranium" Others aren't as easily fixed. If you look at the next one on the list

WOMAN 1 -"A watched pot will boil but your immediacy and eagerness will make the boiling process seem longer" Rolls off the tongue. Our job seems to be done here

MAN 1 - Not quite. One saying was already accurate

WOMAN 1 - Which one? There's more than one way to skin a cat?

MAN 1 - No, a mars a day helps you work rest and play. It really does
