I responded similarly during my whole career to the usual, "What are you up to?" type question at work. Have no idea where I first heard it--I moved around a bit.

You guys got some good ones there. Aphorisms are great. These things really paint a picture.

Don't know what region these are from, but I call them Iowaisms because I learned most of them from a friend who went to the Univ of Iowa:
- He's so scared, he's shakin' like a dog shittin' butcher knives
- Even a blind hog finds an acorn once in a while
- He couldn't pour piss out of a boot if the instructions were written on the heel
- He's so dumb you could sell him dirt
- He could sell snow to an Eskimo
- He's like a one legged man in an ass kickin' contest

That boy is so damn clumsy, he couldn't hit his own ass with both hands.
He's three cards shy of a full house.
That girl is stacked like a brick shit house.
She's prettier than a mountain morning in paradise.
I grew up in NW Montana, a logging and mining area. I won't repeat the more colorful sayings.

Even a broke clock is right twice a day.
Sometimes a hog stumbling around in the woods does better. {My stockbroker from Clarksdale, Mississippi used this phrase to explain why a portfolio run by someone who was not a skilled investment counselor, outperformed my brokerage account.}

Heard this on Fargo. Don't know if it's regional, hope it is, but it's stolen regardless.

During the earlier days of the internets for me, 1994 or so, I saw "uff da" or "unf da" but I never heard it spoken aloud and I surely have no idea what it means.
