See below and discussion page .Safer than chitlins on a city folk's supper plate.Hotter than a jug full of red ants.If that don't put a clod in your shoe.You couldn't burst a bird's egg with a balpene hammer.This here [stew] will grow hair on your elbows.[It's] hot enough to fry a horseshoe.Tighter than the feathers on a prairie chicken's rump.The onliest thing you get from stradlin' the fence is a sore backside.I'll get after you like thunder after lightnin'.How'd you like to be gatherin' eggs and find her in nest?Fine as frogs hair.Naked as a plucked prairie chicken.Bleedin' like a stuck hog.He ain't got the gumption to pound sand for a rat hole.I thumped him 'till his ears rang like the liberty bell.Crookeder than a dog's hind leg.Hold `yer taters.[He's] got more friends than a dog's got hairs on his back.Sit there like a boll weevil on a corn cob.[He] draws trouble like a summer melon draws flies.[I] feel better than a barn rooster on a prime hoot.Quiet as a mouse tip toeing.Quiet as on cotton on cottontail.I'll get onto you like ugly on an ape.Hoppin' around like a flea on a hot skillet.You look like a sunfish who flopped.When you learn a thing a day you store up smart.That don't hurt a particle.If you don't call, then you don't see the hand.I made a bigger mess than a sow's bed.Ain't you startin' to itch before you git bit?He can't see past the brim of his hat.Pooch up like an old toad.Rougher than a wagon load full of cobs.No more chance than a grass hopper in a hen house.Flatter than a snake though a ringer.I loved that boy like a June morning.Quieter than a gagged gopher.Sincere as at a $5 funeral

The boll weevil has this big snout and it uses it to bite the top of the cotton plant. Then it licks out the cotton until it has no more cotton inside the ball.
