"didn't sound like the sharpest knife in the drawer"
Good one. I havn't heard that one in a long time, will try keep this at the fore!
This is another good'un:
"sharp as a marble he is, sharp as a marble"
ER-AAH!
Roger that. It's a "keeper" for the FREEPER!
Hee haw!
I try to keep tabs on funny shite. Put me on any funny PING list you may have and ping away, I'm hoping it will be a "high volume" ping list!
Ther's nothing like FRESH Chili! No sirreee Bob
Superb!
But everyone knows not to eat chilli with your fingers....ya gotta eat the fingers separately!
And too bad this didn't happen at KFC!
Small world, huh?
Oh, I love "sharp as a marble!" That's a good one.
How about "...he/she is from the shallow end of the gene pool." ;)
Heard that awhile back, gotta remember that also. RE "sharp as a marble" I normally credit "Bill C." but it appears to have already been in the vernacular.
"Dumb as a stump" is another that comes to mind. I did a quick google search on that one and this is hit # 1:

Lights are on but there's nobody home
Not playing with a full deck
Not the brightest bulb (in the box / on the tree / in the chandelier)
Not the brightest crayon in the box
Not the sharpest crayon in the box
Not the sharpest knife in the cabinet
Not the sharpest pencil in the box
One taco short of a combination plate
Sharp as a marble << Bill, dude, dewd, deewd, dood!
Thick as a brick
Thick as a ditch
Wheel is turning but the hamster is dead
