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.

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
