I'm going slightly mad

[Paragon]

It finally happened.

I'm one card short of a full deck. One wave short of a shipwreck. I think I'm a banana tree. I'm knitting with only one needle. I'm driving only three wheels these days.

And there you have it.

1. One hamburger short of a Happy Meal, eh?

Sidewalk doesn't go all the way to the street?
Left your groceries back at the store?
Living out where the buses don't run?

Please elaborate.

18. Does that mean you just indulged in fisticuffs, or, oh no, Fisting?

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

3. Your little choo-choo's gone chugging around the bend?

The cheese has fallen off your cracker?

Sad.

4. You're a half-bubble off plumb?

[roughsatori]

17. I have never heard many of these before, but a question for you

I laughed at yours, but that is because I think it is a reference to the little bubble in a level. Am I right? If not please explain. Thanks.

[trof]

23. correct, pretty much

Level is for horizontal surfaces, plumb is for vertical ones.
This line is level _.
This one is plumb |.

[roughsatori]

24. Trof, thanks, but you did not have to illustrate horizontal and vertical

It made me laugh though. I did not remember the difference between level and plumb, thanks.

10. Oh, you're referring to the song!!!!!

A good one by Queen. The video is strange, but then, what would you expect?

[Paragon]

11. Video?!?

I've never seen it -- any idea where it might be online??

[GOPisEvil]

13. I have only seen it once.

It was on a tribute show of some sort. Years ago. I never saw it aired as a stand-alone piece.

I like it though and just wrote it on my note pad. As someone who has visited the funny-farm a few times, welcome to the Crazy Club.
