    As busy as a long tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs.

    Happy as a clam at high tide.

    Busy as a one legged man in a butt kicking contest.

    Fine as frog hair.

    Pleased as a pig in an orchard.

    ...and the best for last:

    "We are like dwarfs sitting on the shoulders of giants.
    We see more, and things that are more distant, than did they,
    not because our sight is superior or because we are taller than they,
    but because they raise us up, and by their great stature add to ours."

    -John of Salisbury ca. 1159

    These sayings continue to provide sterling service in the torture of children:

    "Haven't you grown?"

    "Careful! You'll have someone's eye out with that"

    "If the wind changes, your face will stay like that"

    "Finish your dinner; children are starving in Africa"

    It’s all fun and games until someone loses an eye. Then it's still fun and games but you just cannot see it anymore.....

    I always like:

    Another, slightly different favourite about the magnitude of the word 'If':

    "If granny had balls, she'd be grandpa" :lol:

    Before you criticize someone, walk a mile in their shoes.
    That way, when you criticize, you're a mile away and you have their shoes!

    Any fool can criticize, condemn, and complain - and most fools do.

    I think that was Dale Carnegie - quite bright but sometime twit :P

    Wasn't it the fingers on his left hand, and didn't he actually cut them off himself :)

    Too many to list! However, a few of my favourite military quotes/sayings:

    In an interview, General Norman Schwartzkopf was asked if he thought there was room for forgiveness toward the people who have harboured and abetted the terrorists who perpetrated the 9/11 attacks on America. His answer was classic Schwartzkopf. He said,

    "I believe that forgiving them is God's function. Our job is simply to arrange the meeting."

    ************************************************** ************************************************** **********
    "War is God's way of teaching Americans geography."

    ************************************************** ************************************************** **********
    "History will be kind to me, for I intend to write it." Sir. Winston Churchill

    ************************************************** ************************************************** **********
    "Men are basically smart or dumb and lazy or ambitious. The dumb and ambitious ones are dangerous and I get rid of them. The dumb and lazy ones I give mundane duties. The smart ambitious ones I put on my staff. The smart and lazy ones I make my commanders."
    - Attributed to Field Marshal Erwin Rommel, on how he selects officers for staff and command.

    ************************************************** ************************************************** **********
    Once you have them by the balls, their hearts and minds will follow.
