Sleeping Dogs Lie

Today I went on the subway here in Athens, and at the bottom of the escalator at the entrance there where a bunch of dogs.  At first I thought it was some kind of new security measure, but then I realized that they where pretty much all sleeping.
I then figured out why they where there, for the sake of a cliche.  People can walk down to the subway, see where "sleeping dogs lie" and then giggle to themselves about using the cliche at an opportune moment.  It's a very commendable service that these dogs provide.
