couple of fries short of a Happy MealŪ.
My sister would say someone was "a couple of sandwiches short of a picnic" If the stupidity continued she'd add "no fried chicken, either", and in extreme cases "there goes the potato salad".

That's pretty cool, Elizabeth. I'll bet that by now, she can start with "there goes the potato salad", and you-all can share a nice private laugh without openly offending the person.

Hijacking this thread for an aside about family in-jokes as alluded to in Jackie's thread above.
We had one : "Father Murphy" based on this story:
A man dies and gets to the Pearly Gates, gives his name and St. Peter pushes a button which sends the man down a long slide where he pops up in a huge lake of sh*t. He delicately wipes his face and gradully percieves another head not too far away. Very gently and cautiously they swim toward each other. The man asks "Where the hell am I?"
The oldtimer says" "You got that right, friend, it's hell." The man considers this for a monment then opines "Well, it's not so bad."
"Ha!," says the oldtimer, "wait till Father Murphy comes by in his motorboat!"
