It is amazing how many animal comparisons we still use in this era where most people don’t deal with anything more exotic than a dog or cat or parakeet.
One I don’t get is “as healthy as a horse.” My cousin owns a horse ranch. One of his biggest bills is for the vet. If you think that health care is expensive for people, then think about someone whose medical equipment includes a block and tackle and a back hoe. Also, horses live to be about 40-45 years old. By that standard, I’ve been dead for at least a decade.

2 miles as the barn dances? As the Bat swings? The bug jitters? As the Nanny Hoots?
Don’t forget to tip the waitress, try the veal.

Because if you said “as the ball bounces” you might end up in a storm drain… or behind the refrigerator.

Because crows fly straight whereas non-flyers have to avoid obstacles.
