a lid for every pot

[Pavel Pin]

Ike is going to marry Maggie who has dumped four husbands. Bob comes as guest for Maggie's fifth wedding and Ike is the husband. Bob sits near Eliane:

Bob: I'm Bob, Maggie's fourth attempt.
Eliane: I'm sorry.
Bob: That's okay. There's a lid for every pot.

I think this is an American saying.

The old Southern adage “there’s a lid for every pot,” can be seen as a spiritual affirmation. It means that whoever you are, whatever you are like and whatever your perceived imperfections may be, there’s someone for you.

Maggie hasn't found the right lid yet, and this one (Bob) might be the one!

Not Bob. Maggie is going to marry Ike.

Thank you
