- As mad as a hatter.
As cute as a fox
As rich as a jew
As quiet as a lamb
As white as snow
As black as soot
As old as the hills
As busy as a nailer
As straight as a rule
As sore as a boil
As wise as Solomon
As dark as a dungeon
As tight as murder
As dry as snuff
As dark as a bottle
As hard as flint
As fit as a fiddle.
There are none as blind as they that won't see.
He pays him as his own coin.
As lazy as sin.
As wild as a March hare.(continues on next page)- Informant
