Hrm... let's see... about men who are handsome but lacking in the most important way
"He may be easy on the eyes, but damn, he's as dumb as a stick."

Dumb as a box of rocks (another teacher uses that one)

Not the brightest crayon in the box (art teacher)

Usually any That 70's shows lines like "Eric, you don't have bad luck son, you're just a dumbass. (I tend to say dumbass quite frequently.

Oh, and my typical line after a friend or a kid said something really really stupid, and they know they said somehting stupid ... "LEAN IN..." and they know what comes next... ME, slapping them upside the head for their stupidity, lol. Never hard, but they know, and I'll get soem who say "Come on, you know what you have to do now!"

It's fun!

"My sponsor told me not to let my mind wander...it's too little to be outside by itself."

I definitely have to remember this one.

Not the brightest crayon in the box

And on the heels of this one:

One wheel stuck in the sand
One brick short of a load
Not the sharpest pencil in the box
His/her elevator doesn't go to the top floor
The light's on but nobody's home
He/she's not playing with a full deck

Those are only a few that I can remember. I'm sure there's alot more.

One of my faves is

"They are looking for three legs on a cat, but they are gonna find four!

This is from my mom - I only wish I had listened to her when I was younger...


If you can't be good, be careful.

*You don't have to be a weather man to know which way the wind is blowing.*

Best when said to someone who tries to intimidate you by his *expertise*.

My boss' favorite one is "the devil is in the details." We hear this almost every time there is an office meeting.

I really wish I could take credit for this one.

I was in the produce department of the supermarket and there was a woman with two kidsr. They were not misbehaving or acting up.......

She was trying to get their attention so she could move on so she says playfully to them. "Come on, Children of the Corn!"

COTC was a short story and later a movie from Stephen King-it was about a town where evil children were in charge and would kill adults that came into town or anyone of their group that turned 18.

----------
I looked at her and started to laugh...she saw me and got embarrassed....she began to apologize and I told her that it was O.K. I just never had heard anyone call their kids that.

Now when I see any kids acting badly I whisper under my breath.....Children of the Corn!!

When my grandpa was still around I'd say "I have a headache", he'd say "If I had a head like that it would hurt too"

This is something my dad used to say to me (I was a smart a** quite a lot):
"I'll smack you into the middle of next week"
Sometimes I wish he would have...then I wouldn't be in trouble any more

"I'll smack you into the middle of next week"
Sometimes I wish he would have...then I wouldn't be in trouble any more

LOL, Then you would have missed the weekends!

Oh ,

Who can forget...

"As nervous as a long tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs!"

[kitten645]

My dad used to quote Bill Cosby to my brother...
"Boy, I brought you into this world and I can take you out!"

Loved the COTC reference. My friend sometimes calls her kid Damian. LOL!

I heard this one during Monday Night Football and it makes me crazy.

Hand to hand (as in fighting and combat....) in spanish is "MANO A MANO".

I cringe when I hear people used it incorrectly.

Mano y mano is Hand and hand.
The announcer on MNF says "mano y mano, man to man"

WTF?
You can't even get one side of the equation right!

hombre a hombre -- just doesn't have the same ring to it I guess.
