I have a friend named Gina-Sue who is socialist, and Gina-Sue has a favorite saying: “You can’t lock up the barn after the horses are gone.” It means simply that sometimes even the best of plans will occur to you when it is too late.
once again, snicket teaching me english idioms was something i didn't realize i needed as a child but i am very grateful for as an adult. also, the casual socialism drop is hilarious for some reason.
