When Analogies Go Bad


Okay WOMD friends, I don't normally do this, but anyone who has been forced to write a silly paper (like in Highschool) should enjoy this link greatly.

Top-25 Bad Analogies

I hope you enjoy them as much as I did. Number 3 was my favorite, though almost all of them were pretty great. What was your favorite?

God Bless
Doug

# 14 -is there a test?
# 17- I wanted a smoke and a hat, like a school kid who had just watched a mickey Spillane movie
#3 I remember that assembly, the kid kept bumping into things.
#2- is funny and gives you a mental picture.

But my favorite is probably, "Shots rang out, as shots are wont to do." It's so understated in its lameness. :-)

#5 & #11 were the best! I like analogies that make me laugh and these were good.
