One I saw similar over the urinals at the 400 wing outside of Barrie, here.
Pilots with short props & low manifold pressure, please taxi closer to the pumps as the next guy may not be on floats.

I'd rather try to put socks on a rooster!
That boy can f*ck up an anvil with a glass hammer!
That boy has got a leak in his sunroof!

It's like talking to a stump.
I had one coworker tell the boss he was like a turnip one time,then he said and to make it worse your like a fall turnip you can't even grow anymore.I had to leave the room I was laughing so hard,almost got fired with the guy.

Before starting a project - I'm going to go do something, even if it ain't right
skinned knuckles - "wrenchbite" or wrench bit me
poor welding job - looks like Big Bird flew over
True story - a gung-ho, getter done w/o 'effing around friend of mine went to work for the railroad - he is assigned to work w/ another RR employ who attempts to teach my friend the railroad worker's "slower" pace of work life - so, over lunch one day, friend's co-worker says
"When Dave came to work for the railroad, we had to tie and anvil to his as and hit him over the head w/ a hammer to get him to slow down. . . . He wore the anvil out, and the hammer broke!"

I just heard one from a guy at work, after sharing some of the ones posted here.
"More excited than a 2 p#$ker billy goat!"
And when someone is being a nit picker:
"He's pickin' fly s*&t from the pepper."

My 2 favorites from my machinist days are:
"Never enough time to do it right, always enough time to do it over." - This one was especially useful due to the shortcuts our boss would make us try, only to have them fail.
"Skilled labor isn't cheap, cheap labor isn't skilled." - coined by a guy who worked in our shop for a while, in response to customers that wanted top quality work for next to nothing.
