I use the aforementioned Vonnegut line, go take a flying fuck at a rolling donut.

He fell out of the ugly tree and hit every branch on the way down.

Is a bear Catholic? Does the Pope shit in the woods?

I need that about as much as a fish needs silk panties.

It’s about as easy as nailing Jello to a tree.

Byz,  
Yep, it’s me. And there was no need to get nasty and call me a classy lady !

And here are just a few more -

And I care because … ?

I got your \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ right here bubba.

Eat sh\*t and die.

Look into my I eyes, do you see any “give a damn” there ?

Oh, whip me, beat me, make me write bad checks.

The true meaning of P.M.S. is - putting up with mens shit.

And I love this one I found on a tee shirt

Marry a fat tattooed woman, you’ll have shade in the summer, warmth in the winter, and moving pictures all year round.  
(before anyone gets pissed over this one I am a short fat tattooed woman )

I use a lot of the ones posted here already. The only one I haven’t seen is one that my husband has been using lately

“If it were up your ass, then you would know” (usual response when somebody asks him where something is)

And this is one I use (stolen from some comedian)  
“What’s your problem? Are you on crack?” (my usual response when I see somebody do something really stupid)

I’ve also been known to use:  
“Jesus H. Christ on a pogo stick”

One I just made up: “Cram your modem up your ass and hit Reply when it starts to feel good.” Obviously useful only in some situations.

I always liked “Heavens to Betsy!” although I never figgered out where it came from.

I liked to misapply “kinky”. Especially fun when used to replace the word “humid” in the Two Live Jews’ song “Oi! It’s So Humid!” E.g. “Hey look, I got a new stereo. Five-disc switcher! What do you think?” “Oi! It’s so kinky!”

When you are doing something, and someone is trying to help but it is only making things worse:  
“I’m fucking this cat–you hold the tail”

“He’d fuck a pile of rocks if he thought there was a rattlesnake under it”

“Why, I outta take you downtown and book you for a communist” Great line from a tough guy movie I cannot, for the life of me, remember the name of.

“More fun than tying two cats together by the tails and throwin’ them over a clothesline”

And my personal favorite:

“Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiit,” with about 7 syllables

Stolen from P.J. O’Rourke:  
“What the f\*\*\*? I mean, what the f_ **ing f** _?” (Used to indicate incensed confusion)

Stolen from George Burns:  
“Aeh-ha.” (Used to indicate brain-stem crunching stupor at what was just said)

Stolen (more like misremembered) from Black Adder:  
"You wouldn’t know if a weasel painted itself blue and jumped up and down on a harpsichord singing “ing Days Are Here Again.” (Used to tell someone that they don’t know jack about )
