Carl, thats another of my Dad's old sayings, not enough room to swing a cat.
Also, in reference to thin people, "he's so thin he has to stand up twice to 
make a shadow".

And an extension to the one that farmer mentioned,,,, "a family so poor they 
didn't have a pot to pi$$ in or a window to throw it out of. One of Aunt G's 
favourites.
