There's an expression that goes something like "вести себя как полки в банке" or something like that which means "to behave like fools/idiots." How does the actual saying go? I know I'm saying it wrong.

)) I've been thinking over it for 5 minutes before I see hellga's comment ))
My version was "как полки в бане".

Haha, well, in my version, I was convinced that shelves in banks behaved rude for some reason :P

Apologizes, I just have to say in russian:
Я имел в виду "полОк", а не "полку".
"ПолОк" - эта деревянная лестница с очень широкими ступеньками в парилке, что-на них сидят когда парятся. Я вырос в деревне, вероятно у городских жителей нет таких ассоциаций.
