    The amusing sayings thread

    I'll start with a personal favourite:

    "He was so useless he couldn't hit a barn door with a hand full of wheat"

    "Don't confuse me with facts, I've made up my mind."

    "As easy as carrying a fart in a sieve"

    In line with your "useless" above, one posted in another thread springs to mind

    "As much use as a one legged man in a butt kicking contest"

    A couple of others are not repeatable in polite company such as this forum.
    Cheers MIKE.

    One saying I have used is "As much use as a pig in a parachute."


    Here's one from Douglas Adam's Hitchhiker Books.

    Zaphod Beeblebrox declares, "I'm so hip, I can barely see over my pelvis!"

    • A compromise is an agreement whereby both parties get what neither of them wanted.
    • Anybody can win, unless there happens to be a second entry.
    • Youth is a malady from which one becomes cured a little every day.
    • He’s turned his life around. He used to be depressed and miserable. Now he’s miserable and depressed.
    Cheers MIKE.

    Love your enemies. It makes them so darned mad.

    A conclusion is simply the place where someone got tired of thinking.

    Did you ever stop to think ~ and forget to start again?
