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.
