Или недосол на столе, а пересол на спине? - Пересола... не будет. Ты знаешь, сколько у нас соли осталось? - Ну? - Две пригоршни. - Дело плохое, - вздохнул Мишка. (М. Шолохов, Тихий Дон) — One evening Mikhail said at supper, 'Your soup's not salted, missus. Or do you think too little is better than too much?' 'There'll never be too much... D'you know how much salt we've got left?' 'How much?' 'Two handfuls.' 'That's bad,' Mikhail sighed.
