2 from Red Skelton I believe (another Hoosier).
"She fell out an ugly tree and hit every limb on the way
down."
"The snake was so poor that he didn't have a pit to hiss
in...". Taken of course from the expression "so poor he
didn't have a pot to piss in".
>From someplace:
"I'll kick your a$$ so far up between your shoulders that
you will have to take your hat off to wipe."
"Busy as a one arm wallpaper-hanger".
"Dosen't have the brains god gave a goose".
"If you are going to use a ________ you have to be smarter
than the _________". (can be anything from a hammer to a
gate).
One of mine:
"He's not driving... He's just steering..." (or she)
--
"farmer"
"The greatest mistake you can make in life is to be
continually fearing you will make one."
Elbert Hubbard (1856 - 1915)
