	I would like to conduct a survey of euphemisms that people use to
mean that a person is crazy, insane, etc.  Some typical examples are:

	1) S/he is not rowing with both oars in the water.
	2) S/he is half a bubble off plumb.
	3) The lights are on but nobody is home.
	4) The elevator does not go all the way to the top.
	5) S/he is not playing with a full deck.

	Please mail all responses directly to me (not over the net), I will
summarize the results and post them to the net in a few weeks.  Please
include in your responses the area of the country in which you have heard
your euphemisms and I will try to summarize the geographical distribution
as well.

	My mailing address is:		speed@uwvax

					Thanks in Advance,
