Sayings You Were Raised Around

It's so dry the trees are bribing the dogs
He's about as confused as a fart in a fan factory

The version I’ve heard is like a fart in a whirlwind.

A few others ...

Madder than a wet hen
Dumber than a box of rocks
Dumber than a mud fence
Slower than molasses
Nutty as a fruitcake.
Crazy as a loon
 
She could start an argument in an empty house
The porch light's on, but aint no one home
So dumb he couldn't pour piss out of a boot with the instructions written on the heel.
Well butter my butt and call me a biscuit
Keep it up and I'll cancel your birth certificate
 
A saying in baseball I grew up with is “a can of corn”, which refers to a very easy to catch fly ball. I always wondered about that, and a number of years ago I looked up the origin. Before I explain, I’m curious if anyone has an idea without looking it up.
 
A couple of favorites that my Mom used.

So bucktoothed he could eat an apple through a picket fence.

When someone was wide-eyed, "like a tree full of owls".

One my Dad and uncles used that was rather hazy, "he didn't know whether to **** or go blind".

My Dad had one he rarely used because of the lack of a subject but the first time us used it, I fell out. "He's got so much of an underbite, you could plow an acre with his face".

One of his favorites was "like a 3 legged cat burying crap on a frozen pond". I believe this might have been the forerunner of the "cluster****".

More convenient than cutting it off the cob yourself?
