They can’t see their way out of a paper bag

This is another malaphor brought to you by Roseanne Barr. In her podcast (episode 12), she is discussing how people cannot see the truth around them. This is a mashup of “can’t find your way out of a paper bag” (describing someone who is unintelligent, incompetent, or unable to do something basic) and “can’t see the light” (can’t understand or learn to accept something). “Can’t see straight” (unable to think clearly) might also be in the mix. Another big thank you to Verbatim for hearing this one and sending it in!
