    Let like cure like

    One pal emailed me this text.

    Один американский преподаватель попросил русских студентов перевести английскую поговорку "Let like cures like" на русский. Один из переводов получился особенно хорош: "Давайте любить, лечиться, и опять любить".
    Я танцую пьяный на столе нума нума е нума нума нума е
    Снова счастье улыбнулось мне нума нума е нума нума нума е

    Never heard of 'Let like cures like'. Is it part of a larger proverb?

    I think it's based on idiom "like cures like". The right Russian translation is "Лечите подобное подобным". Russian twin is also existed "Клин клином вышибают".

    Story: apocryphal. Proverb: fabricated.... My guess anyway.
