From the Royal Navy and Marines

* His men would follow him anywhere, but only out of curiosity.
* I would not breed from this officer.
* He has carried out each and every one of his duties to his entire satisfaction. * He would be out of his depth in a car park puddle.
* This young lady has delusions of adequacy.
* Since my last report he has reached rock bottom; has started to dig.
* She sets low personal standards and then consistently fails to meet them.
* He has the wisdom of youth, and the energy of old age.
* Works well under constant supervision when cornered like a rat in a trap.
*This man is depriving a village somewhere of an idiot.
