He sure has hay on his horns today.

He's as happy as if he had good sense.

You look like death eating a cracker.

He wants the earth and the moon with two strands of bob wire around it – and it white washed.

Purtier than a peach.

Like a buzzard in a tree waiting for a mule to die

It’s so foggy, you have to poke a hole to spit.

Like a bump on a log

He’s gettin’ above his raisin.'

She has a butt like a forty-dollar mule.

Sittin’ in the catbird seat

Strong as a new well rope

She's so pretty she could make a hound dog smile.

Doesn’t know shit from Shinola

That gal is gonna drop him like a hot rock.

Tighter than bark on a tree

As stubborn as a blue-nose mule and as busy as a cranberry merchant.

Once bread is toast, it can't be bread again.

She’s so stubborn she’d argue with a stop sign.

Drunk as Cooter Brown

I was as surprised as if a sheep had bit me.
