"Two things can happen. You can win or you can lose and I can handle both". That's something I like to remind myself from time to time.

"Don't let your skimmer leak" meaning don't make a careless mistake.

"don't carry coals to NewCastle" meaning don't waste our time stating the obvious

"he's dumb as a box of rocks"

"his porch light is a little dim."

"I'm busier than a one-arm paper hanger."

"I'm busier than a one-legged man in a butt-kicking contest"

That's all I can think of that maybe not EVERYONE already knows.

"Never criticize a man until you've walked a mile in his shoes."
So:

1. "That way, you'll be a mile away. And you'll have his shoes."

Or, 2. "Unless he's a little shrimp and you think you can take him"

Or, 3. "So people with arthritis should just keep quiet."

:rofl:
