Ways to describe people you meet
Some useful descriptions of people you may encounter from day to day:
-----------------------------
Not the sharpest knife in the drawer
Got into the gene pool while the lifeguard wasn't watching
A room temperature IQ
Got a full 6-pack, but he's missing the plastic thingy that holds them
together
A photographic memory, but the lens cap is glued on
Bright as Alaska in December
During evolution, his ancestors were in the control group
One celled organisms outscore him on IQ tests
Fell out of the family tree
Gates are down, lights are flashing, but the train isn't coming
He's so dense that light bends around him
If he were any more stupid, you'd have to water him twice a week
Its hard to believe that he beat out 100,000 other sperm

My personal favorite is...
Not the brightest crayon in the box.
Or, with my friends who are familiar with that expression "He's a little... pastel."

Those are great!!
Isn't it interesting how we all have these, for the people we meet and work with!!
How about: P.I.W.L.
Personality Incompatable With Life.
That covers thing pretty well too, at times.

One of my favorites is, "Her/his elevator doesn't go to the top floor."
another one is, "Definition of marblehead, All marbles, no brain."

Looks like he/she got beat with an ugly stick.
Not the brightest bulb in the box.
A few grapes short of a picnic.
A few bricks short of a load.
Not the brightest bear in the woods.

A few marbles short of a collection
Doesn't have all his dogs on one leash
The wheel is spinning, but the hamster's dead
Two clowns shy of a circus
Receiver's off the hook
Too much yardage between the goal posts
His belt doesn't go through all the loops
Slinky's kinked
His brain's so small you could put it in the butt of a gnat and it'd roll around like a bean in a boxcar! :chuckle

Not the brightest bulb in the pack
a few cards short of a deck
