Another one " he would tell a lie if the truth sounded better".

My former assistant was a trainer and she had a couple of sayings about some of her trainees:

"Not the sharpest knife in the drawer."

"One bottle shy of a six-pack."

One of my favorites... wooden legs aren't hereditary, but wooden heads can be!
I'm so far behind, I think I'm ahead!

Cedarman

One I like when you hurt yourself,  "That hurts worse than sliding down a razor blade into a pool of alcohol".
I am in the pink when sawing cedar.

Heard this one in my college naval science class:
Lt. Cmdr to the class: "The U.S. Military never retreats. We simply advance to the rear."
Gunnery Sergeant to the class: "Thats like me not telling you you're an idiot. You're all just smart in reverse." 

There are no problems; only solutions we haven't found yet.

My Grand-Mother use to sit on the porch with her other old girlfriends and gossip about all the other women up the street or from her church.
She'd rock in her chair while dipping snuff and spitting in a tin bean can.

When they go to telling a good story, us kids were listening. When she found out we were listening to her juicy story.....she'd say...."Now y'all kids go out in the yard and 'Play Purdy".
We'd say, Come on Grammy, we wanna hear!

She was 1 of a kind!  :D

I had a boss once, that was arguing with me about how I was going to make an accounting entry.  Explaining to him that every debit must have a credit wasn't working, and he was asking me to just "do" two debits.  He became annoyed with me, and as he threw back his head, informed me that he had taken a year of accounting theory.  I said, "Well, right there is the problem!  You're all sail with no ship!"

"Get out side and wait until I have time to shoot you"

My grandfather's variation of "It's too nice to be inside, go out and play"

"So stun as a kellick"

an old saying to mean that a person is not too bright. A kellick is a homemade anchor.

one of my shop teachers always said "that kid hammers like lighting, he never strikes the same spot twice" when ever you missed the nail.
