Anyone got an good ones? Two that spring to mind are:
'Sweating like a scouser in Dixon's'
And when trying to make the best of a bad situation 'are we just rearranging the deckchairs on the Titanic?'

Two scousers in the Army, one is writing home:

'Wot you mean 'darrell'?'
'As in 'Dear Mum please send me some socks darrell' fit me'
'You thicko, it 'worrell' not 'darrell' '

Sweating like a blind lesbian in a fish shop
Sweating like a marine on mastermind
Sweating like a squaddie in a maths test
There are tons of them - any good Sergeant Major type person can reel them off for hours. Blackadder's a good source of silly phrases too:
'We're in the stickiest situation since sticky the stick insect got stuck on a sticky bun' - try saying that after a few sherberts.
On the chat up line front, how do you get a girl to ask you what you do (allowing the obvious "I'm a pilot" type stuff). Is this something that's covered during the ATPLs or on the CPL/IR/MCC courses?
I work for the company, but hey, don't let that fool you. I'm really an OK guy...

More Blackadder - my favourites:
"More cunning than a fox who's just been elected Professor of Cunning at Oxfrod University"
"Madder than Mad Jock McMad, winner of the All-Scotland "Mr Mad" competition."
The delivery helps, of course.

For the absolute top-quality stuff, wile away some hours with the Random Wodehouse Quote site. Magic.
His whole attitude was like that of a policeman with nothing on his mind but his helmet.
Unseen, in the background, Fate was quietly slipping the lead into the boxing glove.
Into the face of the young man who sat on the terrace of the Hotel Magnifique at Cannes there had crept a look of furtive shame, the shifty hangdog look which announces that an Englishman is about to speak French.
It is never difficult to distinguish between a Scotsman with a grievance and a ray of sunshine.
And, in honour of another of today's threads:
Jeeves lugged my purple socks out of the drawer as if he were a vegetarian fishing a caterpillar out of his salad.
Finally, although not that descriptive, but just because I enjoy it so:
It was a confusion of ideas between him and one of the lions he was hunting in Kenya that had caused A. B. Spottsworth to make the obituary column. He thought the lion was dead, and the lion thought it wasn't.

More from Blackadder:
Baldric, that is the worst plan since Abe Lincoln said to his wife,"I'm sick of sitting around the house, let's catch a show"
Bob: "I wanted to see a war run so badly."
EB: "Well you've come to the right place, then. There hasn't been a war run this badly since Olaf the hairy, King of all the vikings, ordered 80,000 battle helmets with the horns on the inside."
"The chances of you getting a girlfriend are lower than the ankle socks on a particularly short gnat. Who is standing in a ditch....... In a valley. ....... In the low-countries."

Getting a woman to ask what you do is not in ATPLs because if you are an ATPL, you'd have already told her as part of the sentence that starts with 'hello'.
