I need a good analogy

[GagBag]

[jobberd]

Life is like a pile of dog poo. Inevitably youll step in it one day, and be like "eeewwww I JUST STEPPED IN DOG POO!" and run around trying to get the dog poo off your shoe, but you wont be able to, because dog poo is really sticky.

In attempting to help you, I'm drawing a blank like the look on Pamela Anderson's face during a round of celebrity Jeoprady.

Here's one appropriate for this board (and about any internet based chat board) -

Opinions are like assholes - everybody's got one.

Early mornings are like the extra product they put in a stick of deoderant... It's only there to hold the rest of the product in, it's not really intended to be used.

Aren't all the above aphorisms?

Isn't an analogy like: Orange: Peel::Tree:Bark

 

[GagBag]

haha, i cant use any of these! but entertaining none the less.

 

[Idiot56209]

analogy n 1: similarity in some respect between things that are otherwise dissimilar: "the operation of a computer presents an interesting analogy to the working of the brain" 2: (logic) inference that if things agree in some respects they probably agree in others 3: drawing a comparison in order to show a similarity in some respect; "the models show by analogy how matter is built up" 4: a theoretical account based on a similarity between the model and the phenomena that are to be explained; "it was a computer simulation of problem solving" [syn: simulation]

as opposed to:

aphorism \Aph"o*rism\, n. [F. aphorisme, fr. Gr. ? definition, a short, pithy sentence, fr. ? to mark off by boundaries, to define; ? from + ? to separate, part. See Horizon.] A comprehensive maxim or principle expressed in a few words; a sharply defined sentence relating to abstract truth rather than to practical matters.

The first aphorism of Hippocrates is, ``Life is short, and the art is long.''

Nope, they are all analogies.

You want a good analogy?

"I stumbled around for the light switch like a group of blind children chasing after the ice-cream truck."

Ok, so it's not that great of an analogy...but I still love it.
