As Much Use As A Cock in a Nunnery

Some people are useful. Some people are really not. These people are as much use as a stray penis in a sacred nunnery where all potential partakers of the penis have actually given the solemn vow of chastity. Therefore the penis is really of no use. Hence the simile to suggest that someone is really useless.

That guy Carl is as much use as a cock in a nunnery. He is absolutely useless

as useful as a fly screen on a submarine

This saying was conceived by Bob and his buddy Mel while on a cycle ride to Portsmouth Dock Yard via Gosport in the Summer of 1963. They passed by a naval shipyard and noticed a beached and apparently discarded mini (aka: one-person) submarine in the assembly yard. The yard gate was open, so the guys checked out the sub and noticed that it had an open hatch upon which had been placed a fly screen (of the household variety), beggaring the question: "what is as useful as a fly screen on a submarine"??? Ironically, someone had punched a hole through the screen through which a horde of wasps had flown in through the hatch and nested. The thought came to mind of how annoying it would be - after closing up the submarine - to have the wasps buzzing around inside the sub...

Following immigration to Canada in 1975, one of the guys adjusted the saying to: "as useful as a screen door on a submarine" to accommodate Vancouver Island / BC / Canada / North America vernacular (which didn't recognize the term "fly screen").

the act of a Central Bank 'printing' fiat money, ie: quantitative easing, in an attempt to curb inflation is "as useful as a fly screen on a submarine"

Pretty as a friend

Someone who is certainly pretty, but, to the person declaring it, is not pretty enough to be attracted to sexually.

"I don't get it, Taffy, he plasters my picture all over his Facebook page but he's sleeping with this other chick."

"He must think you're pretty as a friend."
