How about a thread for old or unusual sayings

So dumb they couldn’t find their way out of a barn from the inside!

So weak he couldn’t fight his way out of a wet paper sack!

My buddy and I were at lunch the other day and pulled our wallets out to leave a tip. He asked if I had any "bullets". The young waitress walked up about that time and looked puzzled. She asked "bullets"?
My buddy said, "singles...one dollar bills". She said she had never heard them called bullets and that she didn't think we looked like guys who would shoot the place up. :)

"That's messed up like a turned over tackle box." is another one similar.

That's why they made to 2 sided tackle boxes. Unexpected tackle dump. Sure were popular in the 90's. Had to have one of those and a bream buster.

To err is human, to forgive divine

My grandmother used to say, “Perhaps by and by.”, which meant, “maybe later.”
My grandfather owned a road construction company up until the mid 70’s and his phrases were much more colorful than my grandmothers!

Everything was not so correct in those times. Things certainly were simpler. I started out on a construction site when I was 16.
