oh, and I just remembered another variant heard from time to time: happier than a pig in the strawberry patch

and who was the sandboy, than whom we should be happier?

pericoloso:
and what about the dog with two dicks, tho' sometimes rendered more prosaically as 'with two tails'?

I know 'happy as a clam', but hadn't heard the end-note; makes sense tho!

The reference to the canine and his redundant appendage I have heard in reference to being extremely busy: "As busy as a dog with two d*cks"

not really Happy as.. but rather i am so happy i could...
well if you're a woman, the answer is cry, but if you're a guy, in NY the answer is likely to be spit.

Either that or just trying to get clean. "...because he can."
