.

	I am interested (for my own bizarre reasons!) in compiling a list
of phrases indicating that someone is crazy.  For example:

			I don't know if his biscuits are all done.
			I think he has a screw loose.
			Lost his marbles.
			The lights are on but nobody's home.
			Not playing with a full deck.

Please mail all responses as our news connection is real flaky.  Thanks
and I will post a summary.

	If things don't change they will probably remain the same.
