Actually, things aren't going to great lately. Had to sell the bush or else I couldn't meet my monthly hooker quota.
I thought this is what the OP meant... -- A bird in hand = Money in my pocket Bird in bush = Money someone promised to give you. (i.e. Check, IOU, etc) So I thought 100 dollar bill in my pocket is worth more than a grand someone promised to give me...
It does. It means that it's better to stick with something you already have than to chase after something you may never get. /end thread.
