We didn't plan to take 'em to raise.

A mule can’t help it if his daddy is a jackass.

Higher the hair, closer to God.

He’s like a mule halfway home after plowin’ all day.

Lower than a snake in a wagon track.

Skin your own skunk

He's tighter than a fiddle string

Purty as a picture

You need to count your fingers after shaking hands with him.

To get clear water, go to the head of the branch.

She is so smart, even her teachers play chess with her.

You might as well play Hob with the hoe-handle!

Like a sow needs a sidesaddle

Slower than a bread wagon with biscuit wheels.

I'll knock you so hard you'll see tomorrow today.

He's country as a bowl of grits.

Fell down cup over kettle.

Nervous as a cow with a bucktooth calf.

Faster than a scalded dog

A close chewer and a tight spitter.

Watch him; he'll slip a baby copperhead in your pocket, then ask you for a light.
