That reminds me.

An expert is someone that travels from out of town and carries a brief case or tool box and is paid a lot more than the regular employees. Or more accurately, a former drip under pressure and spurts out thus an ex-spurt.

Yogi had some amazing ones

Nobody goes there anymore. It’s too crowded.
90% of this game is half mental.
Always go to other people’s funerals, otherwise they won’t come to yours.
The future ain’t what it used to be.
It gets late early out here.
Pair up in threes.
Even Napoleon had his Watergate.
It was impossible to get a conversation going, everybody was talking too much.
We were overwhelming underdogs.

The corollary to this one is:

Years and years ago, it used to be, ''Quick as you can say Bob's your uncle.'' In other words, a snap.

As useless as the 'g' in lasagna.

Slyer than a ****-house rat.

Here's one I made up myself, but you are welcome to use it (rounds of applause - thank you, you're most welcome).



"Don't tell anyone! and whoever you tell, tell them not to tell anyone also."

"Horny as a three peckered Billy goat" if it's more you can go all the way to a ten peckered Billy goat, but that's it, ten is the limit.

One of my dad's favorites when one of us kids was making and excuse for not getting something done: "and if the dog hadn't stopped to schit he woulda caught the rabbit".

"As nervous as a whore in church."
"Hung like a bull mosquito."
"Slower than molasses in January."
"Blithering genius."
