My Brit friends (Londoners if that matters) say thick as two short planks.
Are there degrees of thickness?

It's more important than length, except in things like socks. And skulls.

There's...

Thick

Thick as a plank

Thick as two short planks

Thick as a brick and not half as useful

Thick as a docker's sandwich


Scientific opinion is divided as to the correct order of thickness, but I think that the above gradations will stand the casual observer in good stead.

Why is this pissing me off? He won't, will not, sell me this cooler. I made him offers up to $20. No sale.

He paid 50 fucking cents for this cooler.

Admittedly, it's not a full-sized cooler, but you could have a clock. Or an umbrella. Or lip balm!

A can of coke burst in my backpack today, and my new book from my favorite UK author is all but ruined. I've dried it out but it's trashed. What's really pissing me off is that I have put it in a plastic bag to protect it from exactly this circumstance every other day... but not today. ....and the coke poured down the back of my legs and soaked my jeans and it was -12C plus windchill

Why are tins so weak and shoddy? there's a frickin' 10c deposit on them to make sure they get returned and recycled.

Cost of aluminum and cost of shipping. I saw some numbers about the big boys like coke and pepsi, who have gone to ultrathin cans. The money they save on shipping is just incredible.
I was pushing a loaded two wheel handtruck around the distributors, and they had cases of pepsi 6-packs with the plastic wildlife traps, in low cardboard flats, stacked about 5 ft high along the aisle. The handtruck had cute little angle iron fenders welded above each wheel that I managed to slice through about 4 cases of cans before I noticed my ankles getting sprayed.
