Throughout my life I tend to "collect" phrases that I think are funny and appropriate for specific situations. When I was in college there was this really strange girl who lived in my friend's dorm. One day my friend had just seen the girl playing the game Yahtzee with her equally strange boyfriend when we met up for lunch. She said, "I don't know what I'm gonna do with those two... they're playing Yahtzee with four dice!"
Now I thought that was the funniest expression, like "a few fries short of a Happy Meal" or "a few cards short of a full deck", but my friend corrected me. "No, they are actually playing Yahtzee and only have four dice!!! LOL! But ever since then I've always used that expression to mean someone who really isn't all there.
And now, thanks to spaz, I now have another new favorite saying. I will, from now on, always refer to anyone who needs to be shaken vigorously as "Martini".
