Something we used to say when I received a guy on the jobsite not worth a darn.

If I wanted dead meat, I'd go to the butcher. Can;t get away with saying some of these things in today's corporate environment.
I always heard them called " one sorry sack of :donk:donk:donk:donk"

Maybe a few repeats here but

"he's got enough mouth for two sets of teeth"
"enough money to burn a wet mule"
"useless as a banana peeler"
"screwed up as a football bat"
"fine as frogs hair"
"if a frog had pockets, he'd carry a pistol to shoot snakes"

And one of my Grandpas favorites was always "You know what I'd be if I wasn't a (his last name)?.....Ashamed"

I remembered one my dad said to a couple rude folks.... Folks that just went out of their way to be rude... "Somewhere in the process of your fetal development, the nerves between your ahole and your eyeballs got crossed up, 'cause you sure gotta sh*y outlook on life."
Heard that condition referred to as someone suffering from "ocular rectumitis". "Oh nevermind him, he's just got ocular rectumitis.... you know...a sh---y outlook on life"

The biggest problem with old sayings is you can never remember them when you need them. I wish I was sharp enough to remember them all on the fly because I have heard about 75% of the ones mentioned .
