      I had not heard that one before.
      I am told that it is the same idea as these Creole expressions:

      Kite bon grenn melanje ak move grenn.
      Let the good seed mix with the bad seed.
      or
      Madigra mele ak bon mas.
      Clowns are mixed with good people literally
      We get all kind of people.
