Subject: RE: Similes for Today
Nervous as a cat in a room full of rocking chairs

Happy as a clam (what are the origins of that one, anyway?)

Flat as a pancake

Dumber than dirt

Holy as a sock

Mind like a steel trap (then there's my adaptation of that one to apply to my failing memory: Mind like a steel sieve)

Cheers,

YY
