1. It’s been hotter than a goat’s butt in a pepper patch.
2. Letting the cat out of the bag is a whole lot easier than getting her back in.
3. I’ll slap you naked and hide your clothes.
4. It’s better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick.
5. Never ask a barber if you need a haircut.
6. A man who straddles the fence gets a sore crotch.
7. That child could tear the hind end out of a skunk.
8. The quickest way to double your money is to fold it over.
9. Never drink downstream from your horse.

  10.  I’m busier than a cat covering crap on a marble floor.
