Analogy Man

After poking around a few blogs, I have stumbled across some analogies which, every time I see them, for some reason makes me think what analogy I would substitute. Clear enough?
For instance, when someone writes "Not the brightest bulb on the tree", I think of say, "Not the quickest out of the gate" or "Not the sharpest knife in the drawer".

So, this compels me to make a list of the ID10T analogies I can think of off hand:
  • Not the brightest bulb on the tree
  • Not the quickest horse out of the gate
  • Not the sharpest tool in the shed
  • Not the brightest firefly in the swamp
  • Not the sharpest knife in the drawer
  • Not the fastest dog on the track
  • Not the brightest lightnin' bug in the bushes
  • Not the brightest candle on the altar
That's enough for now. Got any to add to the list?

Updates:
  • Not the fastest processer on the internet
  • Two cans short of a six pack
  • Slower than molasses in december
  • One drumstick short of a picnic
  • Knitting with only one needle
  • One oar in the water
  • A rip in the marble bag
  • A few bricks short of a palette
  • Dumber than a sleighload of shit
  • Dumber than a box of rocks
