Whenever it's raining heavily, I always like to say that it's raining like a cow peein' on a flat rock. Or that I'm busier than a long tail cat in a roomful of rocking chairs.

From my Marine Corps days:
For a beginner using a tool: You handle that rifle like a virgin handles a stiff pr*ck.

For something broken: Its like a limp d*ck, its no f*ckin good.

Well, I've read them all and amoung my favorites were: "Should have knocked him on the head when he was born and sold the milk", and "That smells like 40 a**holes fried in snot". Many others were lol material. Thx everyone! Oh, and one time when I was real young, I walked up to one uncles farm. When a brother found me, he said, "You're in a bushel of trouble".

Grinnin like a possum eating sh*t through chicken wire.
Slicker than owl sh*t on a door knob.
Quicker than a cat can turn around and lick his a$$.
Worth about as much as a warm pitcher of piss.
Doesn't know sh*t from shinola.
Shaking like a dog sh*tting a log chain.
Dryer than a powder maker's a$$.
Hotter than two rats screwing in a wool sock.
Couldn't drive a stick up a goat's a$$.
Keep backing up until you smell sh*t or hear a crash.

He's so poor he doesn't have a pot to pee in or a window to fling it out of.

Which brings to mind "thunder mug" as a slang term for a chamber pot.

Heavier than the hubs of hell
Fair as a maiden
Shirt off your back (generous)
Sweat like a hog
Hung like a horse (sorry, it's farm related though)
cute as a bug
More than you could shick a stick at

Want not, waste not
Close the door! Were you born in a barn?
Barn door open (zipper fly)
So dirty you could plant potatos (usually refering to your ears)
Horse sence
Stubborn as a mule

For the teenagers...don't worry about the mule goin blind...just load the wagon!

From conversation about the black maid...she was so black the lightning bugs followed her in the day time.

For the teen age fellow back in the thirties who was in an old 28 chevy and had just performed the wild thing and was curious as to what that thing looked like...and she caught him and gave him a push...and he skinned his shins sliding down the running board...it reminded him of where a narrow rimmed buggy run over a steak tomato.

Oh, God--I could be here for hours....! Some of my favorites (among the ones that are reasonably fit for public consumption) are:
Hornier than a pail of bullheads
Snow up to the @ss of an eleven-foot Indian
"he could talk a maggot off a gut wagon"
Fatter than the butcher's dog
Dumber than a box of rocks
Busier than a one-legged man in an @ss-kicking contest
I'm feeling finer than frog's hair (and that's MIGHTY fine)
tougher than shoe leather (or whale $hit)
tighter than two coats of paint
so crooked he could hide behind a corkscrew
so crooked he's got to screw on his socks
he beats the rooster up in the morning
drunker than three barrels of @assholes
nervous as a long-tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs
uglier than a hedge fence
So ugly she could curdle new milk

To describe someone dancing: "Steppin' like a chicken in high oats"

To describe a sleazy person: "Lower than a snakes' belly in a wagon rut"

When something is slippery "Slicker than owl $h!t on a green hickory limb"

"Tougher than boiled owl meat" is another I've used to describe sturdy people or a bolt that won't cooperate.

And when someone offers you something for little or nothing "I'm not the kind of guy that'd thump a free melon"
