What ever floats your goat.

You can get a good look at a t-bone by sticking your head up a butchers ass, but I'd rather take the bulls word for it.

What the fuck is this from? I know this quote; the unflipped one

Thanks. That was making my brain itchy.

It’s like finding a needle in a camel’s back

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 5 points 13 hours ago

Which is to say: a whole hell of a lot easier than a camel going through the eye of a needle, to quote JC.

i like to say "das leben ist kein ponyschlecken" and "das leben ist kein zuckerhof".

[–] ZoopZeZoop@lemmy.world 2 points 12 hours ago

You would say that.

[–] bitchkat@lemmy.world 2 points 11 hours ago

You can't crack an omelet without making eggs.

[–] Eww@lemmy.world 4 points 13 hours ago

Not the brightest knife in the tool room.

You can give a man a drink and his thirst will be quenched for a day, but if you show a man to the water source, he will be quenched for the rest of his life.

Daffy Duck one said, "You buttered you're bread, now sleep in it." And 10 year old me couldn't stop laughing.

Make like a tree, and get the fuck out

That's a really tough nut to swallow

Lmao

You won.

A bird in the hand is worth its weight in gold.

Icarus flew too close to the man in the moon.

Find a penny, pick it up. Would you like some making fuck?

[–] flicker@lemmy.dbzer0.com 16 points 23 hours ago

BERSERKER!

Outstanding, friend. Got a laugh out of me.

Does the pope shit in the woods?

[–] LanguageIsCool@lemmy.world 2 points 14 hours ago

But nobody is around to smell it, does it have an odor?

Those who dig others a grave shouldn't throw rocks.

I've made my omelette, now I've got to sleep in it. If you lead a horse to water, you can make it fish.

[–] JasonDJ@lemmy.zip 2 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

I'd rather "if you lead a horse to water, teach it to fish"

[–] Gradually_Adjusting@lemmy.world 1 points 9 hours ago

We could workshop it, but if you're bad at something, never do it for free

[–] Track_Shovel@slrpnk.net 5 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

The fish one is making me laugh

[–] Gradually_Adjusting@lemmy.world 2 points 13 hours ago

Glad to hear it. You know what they say, you miss 100% of the shots you take

[–] Maggoty@lemmy.world 16 points 21 hours ago

I used to say "we'll burn that bridge when we get to it." all the time! People didn't like it though.

You're barking up the wrong metaphor

[–] lime@feddit.nu 8 points 20 hours ago

one of my favourites is "the sharpest bulb in the box"

[–] badcodecat@lemux.minnix.dev 21 points 1 day ago

i'n not the brightest bulb in the shed, but i sure am the sharpest!

[–] Mnem667@sh.itjust.works 17 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I had a boss who said:
"You can lead a horse to water, but you can't suck his ass to make him drink."
I... I just... Can't.
