[Chris Corrigan]

Or of course a couple of Canadian variants: “dumb as a bag of hammers”
and “smart like a bean” (from the Saskatchewan Ukrainian expression
“strong like an ox, smart like a bean.”)
 
Chris,
(who is sometimes not the sharpest tool in the shed and sometimes one
sandwich short of a picnic.)
