Descriptive Sayings!

When I first got my PC and my son gave me lessons, I was none too clever with the mouse.
He would say I had as much dexterity as a dead badger
I have also heard of "as much use as a chocolate tea pot"
Do you know of any sayings that are odd but match the situation exactly?

As ugly as sin!

I've heard lots of 'mad' ones. as mad as:
a box of rocks
a fish
a hatstand

as much use as an ashtray on a motorbike.
and one from my Mum: as many brains as a frog has feathers.
