As beautiful as a broken leg.

Pisser dans un violon ferait autant de bruit = peeing in a violin would make as much noise: descriptive of something that took some effort without drawing much attention.

Life is a jest
And all things show it
I thought so once
And now I know it

John Gay.
It's the same the whole world over
It's the poor what gets the blame
It's the rich what gets the pleasure
Isn't it a blooming shame?
