On a local IRC channel, I pointed out 'I know less of iOS development than a camel does of canoeing'; I'd previously used 'than a walrus does of wind-surfing'.

Alliterative expressions of animal incompetence are clearly fun to produce:

mdwthan a hamster does of hang-gliding
rjkthan crocodiles do of cross-stitch
senjithan an egret does of epistemology


The important things are assonance and a strong mental image ...
