A new standard

  by  siwild 

You've no doubt heard the old expression, "as useless as teats on a boar hog." Or, as I've more often seen it spelled or heard it pronounced, "tits on a boar hawg."

I propose that we immediately throw out this standard of uselessness and replace it with one that is more timely.

"Useless as a politician."

Now, granted, absolutely nothing is ever going to be quite as useless as a politician, so the phrase would have to always be used in the negative.

Examples:

• Nothing is as useless as a politician.
• Her boyfriend may be good-for-nothing, drug-using piece of shit, but at least he's not as useless as a politician.
• That woman is almost as useless as a politician, but at least when she dies, her organs can be harvested and might save a life.

Etc!

So, let's get on this. Start using it in print. Let's do this.
