- As wise as the hills
As grey as a rat.
As fat as a fool.
He would lift the cross of an asses back.
He is as ignorant as a céisa bróga.
He is as mean as Luicifier.

As slow as a coach.
As thin as a whip.
As white as snow.
As cure as a fox.
As green as grass.
As crooked as a ram's horn.
As mad as a march hare.(continues on next page)
