Square peg, I LOVE it! BOT: my wife has an old German saying: "Leave the thinking to the horses, they have bigger heads. (She applys that to me a lot...  ) |

The comedian George Carlin had a great skit about this one -- said he always wondered how the Shine-ola people felt about that.
And a very old Chinese expression, that is perhaps one of my favorites, is The ox is slow, but the earth is patient. |

Another Chinese saying that is actually a curse. May you live in interesting times
It is considered a curse because interesting times would be times of revolt, famine, war, pestilence, etc.
You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink.
Doesn't know his *ss from a hole in the ground.
If the good Lord hands you lemons, make lemonade.

Old fashioned:
catch more flies with sugar than with vinegar
nary a pot to pi** in or a window to throw it out of
how do you like them green apples?
And here's one used to describe my dad on more than one occasion:
He could sell ice to an Eskimo.

"busier than a one armed paper hanger with hives"

made it by the skin of your teeth
Crazier than a sack of knats
colder than a witches teet
His elevator don't go to the top floor
Not the sharpest tool in the shed
Dumber than a box of rocks
