If he had a brain he'd be dangerous.

If his brain was dynamite, he wouldn't have enough to blow his nose.

Fair winds and following seas.

Go pick me a switch. (Hated that old elm! Sure kept me in line, though.)

It's about time! What'd they have to do....slaughter that cow first? (What my dad would say when I'd gone out for a hamburger with the gals.)

A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.

A whistling girl and a crowing hen will always come to some bad end.

The early bird catches the worm.

There's nothing so bad that it couldn't be worse.

Don't worry about the mule going blind, just keep on loading the wagon!

How about the "rank outs"?

I'll rank you so low you'll be playing rin tin tin on a flea.

If you want something done right, you have to do it yourself.

Get back to your rat killin'. (Interpretation....go on back to whatever you were doing before you were interrupted.)
