That man's so crooked he has to sleep in a round house.
If I came down to your level, I'd have to hiss.
He's so low he could s--- off a snake.
He didn't carve a career, he chiseled it.

The two I remember growing up (odd both are temp related):
'Colder than a welldigger's ass in Montana'
'Colder than a whitches titty in a brass bra'
I think the latter was used for colder temps than the former. And that was before Modanna actuallly wore the brass bra thing, back in the '80s.
As useless as an ashtray on a motorcycle
As useless as a chocolate firescreen
He would put tits on a bull
"Handy as a pocket in a shirt."
"Cold enough to freeze the nuts off a John Deere plow."
"Nervous as a long-tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs."

I worked on a ranch east of Williams Lake (B.C.) in the mid 60s. Guy I worked for was an American and he had been a road and rail construction superintendent for the McLeod River Logging Co. in northern California before he bought the ranch and moved up north. He was a tough old bird but we got along just fine.
Three things I remember about him were his Bull Durham Navy Cut tobacco, strong black coffee and this phrase...
"Tighter than a bull's ass in fly time."

Just one project too many--that's what finally got him...
He's as sharp as a bowling ball.
He reminds me of a light bulb, bright but no brains.
I'm as busy as a cat with two asses on a tin roof.
Lucky as a two peckered billy goat.
These are a few that I've heard over the years.
