He’s so dumb he couldn’t piss his name in the snow.

Happier 'n a puppy with two peters.

Rain goes over her back to avoid her face.

As long as Pat stayed in the army

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

Let your vittles shut your mouth.

Ready with his hat and slow with his money

That’s how the cow ate the cabbage.

He’s gettin’ above his raisin.'

I would like to buy him for what he is worth and sell him for what he thinks he is worth.

Scripted down

Glad eye

Hotter than the hinges of Hell.

He’s so ugly he has to slap himself to sleep.

I’m fixin' to run over to the bank.

If that boy had a good idea it would die of loneliness.

Lost as a goose in a snowstorm

That kid could break an anvil.

He took in a lot of mules.

Better an empty house than an unwelcomed guest.

You don't have the sense God gave a chigger.
