Complete the phrase: As dumb as . . . .
Since so many people like to call names, and since I am personally intrigued by regional expressions, I thought it might be interesting to have people share their favorite simile regarding stunning stupidity.
I grew up in New England hearing people say someone was "as dumb as dirt," or "too stupid to walk upright." How do people describe really stupid people in your part of the country (or world)? What is your favorite version?

"He doesn't have the sense God promised a goat."
"He doesn't have enough sense to come in out of the rain."
"Dumb as a fence post."
"He's not all there."
"He's a few bricks shy of a load."
"He's not playing with a full deck."
These were heard in North Florida, Georgia, Tennessee, and Alabama.

"He's not the brightest crayon in the box."
"He's not the sharpest knife in the drawer."
"The elevator doesn't go all the way to the top."
"The light's on, but no body is home."
"He doesn't have the sense God gave a flea."
All from those of us in Iowa

"Anyway, after we go out and work our hearts out, after you go out and help us turn out the vote, after we've convinced the good Americans to vote, and while they're at it, pull that old George W. lever, if I'm the one, when I put my hand on the Bible, when I put my hand on the Bible, that day when they swear us in, when I put my hand on the Bible, I will swear to not—to uphold the laws of the land."—Toledo, Ohio, Oct. 27, 2000
