Too stupid to tell the difference betwenn his ass and a hole in the ground.
In comparison, I sometimes allow as how somebody can tell the difference between his ass and a hole in the ground, but that he does it by taste. As in:
“He can tell his butt from a hole in the ground, but he has to lick it first.”
“Half a bubble off plumb.” (Or just “half a bubble off”)
“Doesn’t know his ass from his elbow.”
“A couple sandwiches shy of a picnic.”
“One brick shy of a load.”
“Can’t tell thin sh** from wild honey.”
“Dumber-n-dogsh**”
Not really along the exact same line, but someone once told me that the definition of “gross ignorance” was 144 Aggies. (Now I’m gonna have Texas A&M grads putting out hits on me! LOL)
I’ve always given them the map, the flashlight, and both hands. My other favorite is “If brains were open flames, I’d feel comfortable sending you to the gas station.”
My Dad used to say “If your brains were gas, you wouldnt have enough to power a piss ant’s motorcycle around the rim of a dime.”
He once told me that I was the only person in the world who could fuck up a wet dream. It’s not so much that I’m a stupid person, just inept with mechanical things.

Incidentally, I was looking at Ken dolls the other day (Christmas shopping for a 3-year-old) and noticed that since Ken was never really anatomically correct (or at least not real graphic ~ thank heavens!) they are now making him with the design of “boxer-briefs” instead of just plain old “buck nekkid”.

Here are a few expressions that I’ve heard and/or used to describe idiocy:
If he got any denser, light would bend in towards him.
Denser than a block of rebar.
Slower than a squished snail.
Smarter than a speeding bullet!
Has a room-temperature IQ.
Has a full six-pack, but lacks the plastic thingie that holds it together.
Has two neurons playing catch with a single acetlycholine molecule. (Biogeeks might be the only people who use that phrase.)
I used this expression once while I was talking about a particularly moronic person in one of my classes: “He’s probably quite useful as a source of protein, but he certainly shouldn’t be a student in this course.”
And, speaking of idiocy, I should be heading off to my brain-dead statistics class…
