    Нельзя иметь масло, маслянные деньги и зад молочницы в награду.
    или
    Нельзя иметь (одновременно) масло, деньги за масло и зад молочницы в награду.

    Что-то типа:
    Три горошка на ложку.
    (Хотя в пословице горошков два).

    More or less the same as "You can't have your cake and eat it too."
