A total change of subject: NO BILL CLINTON RESPONSES, PLEASE

I challenge people on this thread to come up with their favorite ways of describing people who are a bit short in the brightness catagory.

A few of my favorites: (Note: in the feminine gender because the libbers demanded when I was teaching college English that we reject the "he" and use feminine gender for 2,000 years to balance out the first 2,000 years of history, and they gotta take the bad with the good):

She only has two brain cells, and one is out looking for the other.

She's a few bricks short of a full load.

Her elevator doesn't go all the way to the top.

Her 100 watt brain only has a 50 watt bulb.

What are your favorites?

gets nervous, the driver finished "Thirteen feet and I hope you
enjoy your trip.
