I found these on a website (some are duplicates of ones already offered):
a sandwich short of a picnic a few beers short of a six-pack one brick short of a load a few fish short of a hatstand not playing with a full deck [of cards] to have bats in the belfrey to have kangeroo loose in the top paddock as crazy as a sack full of ferrets out to lunch as nutty as a fruit cake as mad as a hatter the lift doesn't go to the top floor (my personal favorite!) the lights are on, but nobody's home to have a screw loose not the sharpest knife in the drawer not hitting on all six cylinders

@Bob: That means you haven't lost your marbles.
The same kind of question was asked back in March 2008. One site I posted in that thread contains over 200 such sayings. Give 'em a look. |
