My son was reprimanded in summer school for using the phrase "that's as funny as a fart in a space suit" and for assignment has to come up with 10 "clean" versions of the same format: that's as funny as __________________. Any ideas?

no, i'm not doing his homework for him. he already turned his stuff in this past friday. he wanted to know what i would have said and he didn't think my suggestions were funny so i thought i'd see if someone else had better ones.
pooper, i didn't realize you had already met my son and knew him enough to classify him as an idiot. congratulations are in order for demonstrating the forward thinking capacity of an over-watered tree. apparently the only mental exercise you get is jumping to conclusions.

I believe its screen door on a submarine, short sleeved raincoat, one armed paper hanger, one legged man in a butt kicking contest, long tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs, lead ballon, fly in the punch bowl, croutons on a cowpie, and a frog in a hail storm.
Don't give any of these to your son. Make him sweat it out, maybe he learn to control his mouth.

Did your son come up with that line himself or did he hear it somewhere? If it's his own material then he clearly has a sense of humour and he should have no problem with the assignment.
I admit that jokes about flatulence aren't appropriate in all situations but I don't like to hear that a creative kid is being discouraged. Seriously, if your son likes to make fart jokes then why not suggest that he write some? Just cos he can't do it in school (which is something he'll need to understand) doesn't mean he can't do it in his own time.
It may seem very immature now but creativity has to begin somewhere. I'd be very surprised if most great authors didn't start out by writing "silly" stories as kids.
Maybe in a few years time he'll move on to political satire... or maybe he'll stick to the fart jokes (people make millions of dollars off both!)
One for the road:
As funny as a hippo on an ice rink

Irish comedians- Neil Delamere, (probable my customary Irish one in the present day), Andrew Maxwell (sturdy too) and Tommy Tiernan (develop into the appropriate, no longer that tremendous now). British comedians - Stewart Lee (my customary comic with suggestions from a techniques in the present day), Lee Mack (he's deadly too) and Sean Lock.

That's as funny as grandma laughing and her teeth fall out.
That's as funny as a dog trying to meow.
