If you are not too bright I might call you " five watt". If someone does something really stupid I might make a snide remark like " you are my hero". ---

A Foghorn Leghorn quote mentioned in another thread: “… about as sharp as a sack full of dead mice.” And some of my personal favorites: “Kid’s about as sharp as ten pounds of wet leather.” “Kid’s about as sharp as a bowling ball.” Some other all time (though off topic) winners: Someone shot the dots off his dice. Not all of his dogs are barking. ---
