The hurrier I go, the behinder I get.

And my grandmother's favorite:

Whatcha make in the oranges you lose in the bananas. Every time.

Mad as a box of frogs

Mad as cheese (one from Lincolnshire)

Why is a Duck? Because one leg is both the same (No idea what that's supposed to mean but was one of my Old Mans favourite sayings)

Face like a bag of spanners

Dim as a Toc-h lamp

Don't know whether he's punched, bored or countersunk

The smoker I drink, the player I get.

Like a Rat up a drain pipe.

Like a Flash Rat with a gold tooth.

You cannot reason a person out of a position that they did not reason themselves into.

A couple I learned from Bob Nolan, RIP

That boy is so skinny, he could stand under a clothes line in a thunderstorm and not get wet.

Her face looked like it caught on fire and someone put it out with an icepick.

That sucker is flatter than a flitter!

Even a blind hog finds an acorn sometimes.

A golfer overheard talking about the greens keeper: "I would like to buy him for what he is worth and sell him for what he thinks he is worth".

Snow is what you pay to ski on, not live in for 6 months of the year.

I just said this tonight as I was preparing the Guzzi for the Mandeĺlo trip when I thought I lost a spacer.

"Well, that's a fine Howdaya do!"

Life is hard, it's harder if you are stupid..

she is so skinny, if she drank kool-aid, she would look like a thermometer.

Beauty is skin deep, but ugly goes to the bone.

"No little bird ever flew so high that it didn't have to land"
"If it (rain) starts before seven, it'll stop before eleven."
"I'll throw a rock in your garden some day" (when someone does you a favor). I think it should be "...out of your garden..."

Some of my favorites from the New Statesman competition:

An owl in a sack troubles no man.

He hikes highest who highest hikes.
