Other ways to say "Not the Brightest"

[slamstrom]

What are some of the phrases you've used to refer to those who are not the brightest?

I'll start with the obvious:
Not the sharpest tool in the shed.

Here are a couple of my favorite:
Not the crispiest chip in the bag.
A few fries short of a Happy Meal.
The elevator doesn't go all the way to the top floor.
The gates are down and the lights are flashing, but the train isn't coming.

Please add your favorites.
