carl0s Posted April 15, 2006 Share Posted April 15, 2006 Couldn't hit the broad side of a barn. .. .the barn door from inside. . .. .a bull in the ass with a bucket of bird shot. .. .a bull in the ass with a banjo. .. .couldn't hit a cow in the tit with a tin cup. Dumb as a cow looking at a barn door.

squiffy Posted April 15, 2006 Share Posted April 15, 2006 ive heard: couldnt hit a barn door from 2 yards couldnt hit a cows arse with a banjo mix them up and you have your mates...... who knows! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick1980 Posted April 15, 2006 Share Posted April 15, 2006 Hmmm, that all sounds a bit too american to me carl0s...... now, "couldn't hit a cows arse with a banjo" sounds much more like it - hear that all the time refering to football, much like "couldn't finish a pint of milk" and "couldn't score in a brothel", etc etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlotte Posted April 15, 2006 Share Posted April 15, 2006 What a weird saying. My personal favourite 'set your stall out'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
