Subject: Re: one X short of a Y



i used to live with someone who collected these phrases. the only

one i remember now was in an article in _details_ magazine about

working at mcdonalds, which claimed that an asian-american worker

there was something like "a few tiles short of a mah jong (sp?)

set."



a few months ago a friend sent me a long list of creative ways to

describe stupid people---one of those "humor" pieces that makes its

way around the internet a few hundred times. that had a lot of

variations on this theme. anyone else have it?
