"He was so poor when he was growing up, that if he didn't wake up with a hard-on, he had nothing to play with the rest of the day".
Someone who was that poor.

While working with my boss' 78 year old plumber dad, whenever we fix a leak at a farm help house or any place where we don't have to be absolutely perfect: well, ain't nothin pourin out. He also says good enough for the girls I go with, which seems to be a more popular saying than I thought.
My Dad once told me "boy do what f**k I tell you to do and don't think about it because when you think you're a menace to society"
That's probably not a saying but it still makes me laugh 30+ years later.

I sold cars right out of high school many years ago, the old timers there would tell customers "she runs like a raped date".

If a lot is good and more is better, then too much is just enough. Ha! Love that one.
If you don't have enough time to do it right, you surely won't have enough time to do it over.

Not exactly a saying but fits in this thread:
Unobtainium/ impossibillium: a metal with limitless strength and heat resistance. Typically used in sifi and designs created by English majors.
