He/she couldn’t organise a piss-up in a brewery  
He/she couldn’t find his arse with both hands  
or, if you want to be REALLY derogatory  
…couldn’t find his arse with both hands and an atlas.  
and one from my Dad, which to my knowledge he made up, and which seems to sum up a certain type of person very well…  
He’s so intelligent he can’t even open a gate

A favorite saying, of my Dad’s:

Buy ya books and buy ya books and all ya do is chew the corners.

My oldest son’s favorite saying:

Excuse me, but I think you’ve mistaken me for someone who gives a fuck what you think.

(He IS smart enough to have never said that to me, however.)😃

useful for hung-over friends:
