Hotter than a 3-peckered billy goat.

Shifty One · 10-09-2021, 05:09 PM

Busier than a 1-legged rooster in a 3-story hen house.

Shifty One · 10-09-2021, 05:14 PM

Sweatin' like a priest on judgement day.

LONGHAIR · 10-09-2021, 05:46 PM

Hard sayin....not knowin

Like a lost ball in high weeds (my 7th grade math teacher to anyone not getting it)

Dumber than a hay rake

You don't know what you don't know

72supr · 10-09-2021, 05:50 PM

When my uncle thought he was being gouged on a part or piece of equipment he would always say, Why that’s higher than the balls on a giraffe.

I forgot about that one -- a similar one is "If he had a brain, he'd take it out and play with it".

I had to decide which one to post

My dad said both.

You can tune a piano, but you can't tuna fish sandwich. This isn't all that old, as far as I am concerned. /grandpa (wannabe)

REO Speedwagon...

He was busier than a cat covering chit on a hot tin roof.

He was pissing up a rope in a windstorm.

That boy ain't right.

The thing about free speech is...there's always someone around to complain about it.

Do unto others before they do unto you.

Am I going to gave to make you cut me a switch?

If you can't be early...make damned sure you ain't late.

If you're waiting on me you're rolling backwards.

He could squeeze the piss out of a Buffalo nickel.

Joplin? Hell yeah, I spent a week there one night.

He wouldn't turn around to watch two piss-ants eat a bail of hay.

Don't piss on my boots and tell me its rainin'.

With apologies to Red Green -- If the women don't find you handsome, they should at least find you handy.

That's how ugly guys get laid. It worked for me.

**special-K** · 10-10-2021, 05:32 AM

He's so dumb he couldn't pour piss from a boot with directions on the bottom!

After giving good directions and the person points in the wrong direction and asks, "Can't I get there going that way?". "Sure you can. But you'd have to go all the way around the world to get there"

4u2nv · 10-10-2021, 06:05 AM

They would ask him ------ What you up to today ??

He would say -----------Not to mucking fuch !!!!

**FleetsidePaul** · 10-10-2021, 12:11 PM

I don't know if it's a saying but my dad would always say "Shut up, you're an idiot'

Greasey Harley · 10-10-2021, 01:55 PM

"work harder, not dumber."

"You're smarter than a whole bag of hammers."

You can chop down a tree with a sledgehammer, but an ax would be easier."

**GOPAPA** · 10-10-2021, 05:57 PM

There's an old saying car painters like to use that says: "If nothing else, get the driver's door and the hood painted right." Obviously the reason to make these areas look nice is because they are always under the driver's nose. Move inside to the vehicle's interior and there's an area that's right in the driver's face: the dashboard

72c20customcamper · 10-10-2021, 06:14 PM

"Hes not the sharpest tool in the shed " " hes a brick or two short of a full load " my dad's favorites

CG · 10-10-2021, 07:36 PM

...

Warrens69GMC · 10-10-2021, 08:56 PM

"your actin' just like your mom"

"your actin' just like your dad"

**davischevy** · 10-10-2021, 10:08 PM

It's better to appear stupid, than to open you mouth and remove all doubt.

**davischevy** · 10-10-2021, 10:10 PM

That's not my cup of tea.

**davischevy** · 10-10-2021, 10:11 PM

Pardon my French.

Bring home the bacon.

That's the cat's meow.

**davischevy** · 10-10-2021, 10:19 PM

I might as well be talking to a brick wall.

You might as well talk to a fence post.

Dumber than a box of rocks.

When they were handing out brains, he thought they said train, and missed it.

He needs that like he need a hole in his head.

Busier than a one armed paper hanger.

They gather like flies on s**t.
