Stiff in the heels

If you can’t give me your word of honor, will you give me your promise?

(1879 – 1974) film producer

He is just a hole in search of donut.

Busy as a stump-tailed cow in fly time.

Let a man skin his own skunk.

Y'all stay the night. We don’t have extra beds, but I’m sure we can find a nail to hang you on.

Held his hind leg.

If I was the head of a country that lost a war, and I had to sign a peace treaty, just as I was signing I’d glance over the treaty and then suddenly act surprised… “Wait a minute! I thought WE won!”

He’d scare a horse from his oats.

Dead as 4 o’clock

Talk to the table.

I’m as anxious as a one-eyed cat watching two rat holes.

He was grinnin' like a possum eatin' briars.

I hope no one is allergic to nuts… because I like to rest mine on the table.

(1972 – ) Scottish comedian

Consider the daffodil; and while you’re doing that, I’ll be over here, looking through your stuff.

Get the short end of the stick

Get a hump on

Businessman

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: never repeat yourself.

There is nothing more awkward than the moment you realize you’re getting a double-cheek kiss.
