Don't bite off your nose to spite your face.
My kingdom for a horse.

How about this "oldie" .......... "Five will get you twenty" (anybody remember what that saying is all about ??)

Betting odds?

Dance like I have 2 left feet.

Can't carry a tune in a bucket

He should sing solo, so low you can't here him

Last hurricane before I moved to Tennessee. I drove past a couple cleaning up a pine tree that was down. They were elderly, carrying small pieces of the tree out to the road. I turned around, went back and helped. It was hot and humid, my clothes were ringing wet by the time I was done. Had cut the tree into chunks I could carry and hauled it to the road. Guess I didnt bother to look at the tree and see it was covered in poison ivy. 3 days latter I was covered. I mean covered in poison ivy. That was a memorable punishment for that good deed

Excuse me- "Can I put this on account...on account I gots no MONEY"!
