One of my co-workers will randomly add "...he said, with great hope in his voice" to things other people say. It's usually good for a laugh.

A friend in needs a friend indeed,
A friend with weed is better,
A friend with breasts and all the rest,
A friend who's dressed in leather

When things are said with a sexual overtone, you can often get a laugh by following it with, "she cried with her wooden leg in the air"

my dad likes the saying:
"Like shinguard through a tin horn!"
and "Just a-humsuckin'er!"

when talking about things going really fast. Also, "slick as snot" when talking about something that amazes him.

My grandfather was also a real repository of old sayings. One time he told me i was "skinnier than a negro's wallet", and when he asked me if i had a girlfriend when i was 12 or so, after i said no he tells me to "just be like Jesus and love 'em all!"

When my late father encountered someone with particularly bad teeth, he's say, "He could eat corn through a picket fence."

Working with Mercury, actually. It's poisonous and absorbed through the skin. (referring to 'Mad as a hatter')

"Why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free?"

Said by my mother to my sisters as a warning against having premarital sex because the man won't see any need to get married. As a man, I've found it to be good advice as well (probably not what my mother intended).

My grandpa used to use little sayings for everything, most of which cannot be repeated here. Some of the ones I remember...

Colder than a whores heart.
Hotter than the hubs of hell.
Hotter than a half facked fox in a forest fire.
...if your aunt had balls she'd be your uncle.
...is as close as damnit is to swearing.
You can wish in one hand, piss in the other and see which one fills up first.
That girl wouldnt be too bad looking if her face filled in around her teeth.
also, that girl could eat corn on the cob thru a tennis racket.

When I would yawn, he would tell me to grab my ankle before I turn inside out.

Im so hungry my stomach thinks my throat's been slit.
Im so hungry my backbone is giving my bellybutton a blister.
Im so hungry I could eat the arsehole out of a dead skunk.
If that don't be cockfighting.
Thats slicker than a greased cookie sheet.
That girls face looks like a fried gumboot.
Im so thirsty I could drink piss from a gumboot.

He also would take old songs or rhymes and turn them around, for instance...

A gum chewing girl and a cud chewing cow
Are kind of alike, but different somehow
Ive often wondered, but now I know how
Its the thoughtful look on the face of the cow

Old mother hubbard
she went to the cupboard
to fetch her poor daughter a dress
but when she got there
the cupboard was bare
and so was her daughter I guess.

Most of these are not really common old sayings, but they are definitely old school.

Old Mother Hubbard
went to the cupboard
to get her doggie a bone
when she bent over
Rover took over
and gave her a bone of her own
