[AT] old expressions

[weaver at midsouth.rr.com]

One I always remember in the winter is "colder than a witches *** in a 
brass bra".  Now just don't ask me what was going on in the person's 
mind who first thought of that one.

How about "busier than a one-armed paper-hanger"?

Or, "nervous as a long-tailed cat in a roomful of rocking chairs"?

Hi Phil,  That's a good one but I've got to tell you I haven't read 
ANY of these old expressions that I haven't heard somewhere before.  
LOL.  I think the regional aspects of American/Candian life have 
mostly disappeared!
