Where I work, we get lots of letters from folks around the world. Many readers write in to praise articles; many more write in to criticize. One reader recently sent an email (we still have a "Letters" column, but we rarely receive actual letters; prison inmates are the exception to the email deluge) chiding an author for proposing a seemingly outlandish idea and remarking that the author's "cheese fell off his cracker," that is, the author had obviously lost his wits.
I can't find the origin of this lovely phrase. If you know the origin, let me know in the comments section.

I've NEVER heard that before! Being a Southerner, I've heard many - but that one is new to me.
I wonder if it has to to with the popularity of the Who Moved My Cheese book???
Hmm, good guess @CreekHiker. I still haven't pinned this one down, but I like your tie-in to the cheese book.
