One Sandwich Short 1

[ZoomerZ]

I am not sure if it belongs here but seems like it...
I just read it (and keep laughing) when lady complained about her friend acting stupid. Another lady suggesting that "she is one sandwich short from a picnic"

I love these phrases so much and wondering is this amuses me so much because I am ESL? Or it amuses everyone?

Higgins,

And you remind me of the famous case that the US Food & Drug Administration brought against a pharmaceutical company for claiming that "Nothing works better than" their product. To which the pharmaceutical counter, "That's right...If you take nothing, it works better than our product."

His team would follow him anywhere, but only out of morbid curiosity.

got the full six pack, but missing the plastic thingy that holds it all together.

consistently sets low standards, then fails to meet them.

any smarter and he'd be dangerous.

spent two days looking for the 'any key'.

has hit rock bottom and started to dig.

So dumb, when he locked his keys in his car it took him all day to get his family out.

hardest at normal tasks?

My old man used to use a few good ol' farm homilies, some of which I still find funny:

A torrential downpour was:
raining like a cow p!ssin' on a flat rock

The "less than bright" could be:
dumber than a bag of hammers

or they may:
have a half-empty loft

A poor golfer (or hunter, or pitcher, etc):
couldn't hit water from a boat

A liar/politician could not be trusted:
as far as I could spit a rat

Just funny little phrases that stick with you through a life. Occassionally they make a conversation a bit more fun.

If brains were made of rubber he/she wouldn't have enough to make a flip-flop for a budgie.

If brains were explosives he wouldn't have enought to blow his nose.

 

[sdraper]

If brains were gasoline he/she wouldn't have enough to run a pregnant ant's moped around the inside of a cheerio.

sdraper, why is the ant pregnant?

A few more IQ points and he/she would need watering every other day

[Stella740pl]

Do you feel a steady mental decline of people described in this thread?

From just one "sandwich short from a picnic" in the original post, to few IQ points short from "watering every other day" 50-something posts later? (Though, I wouldn't speculate on how many IQ points one sandwich is worth.)

 

[ESquared]

If all you're missing is one sandwich, you've still got a decent picnic, I suppose! The remaining sandwiches can be divided evenly and the deficit made up with an extra piece of cake.

Would that having the IQ of a houseplant were so easily remedied.
