What a fathead I am!

I deem it as the best fit for the source context. Also, 'fathead' is a slang just like 'يادي الحوسة' is a slang too.

Thanks a bunch!

Your comment is highly appreciated :). I agree with you in the second reason though the poster didn't ask for an idiomatic expression. However, the first reason to be neutral is not a strong justification to evaluate any translation.
