sounds like something from a 1940's pulp detective story.


"I'm an eye, see? Private eye. The call came in this morning... a dame saw the man pushed from the roof. He fell 12 stories, hitting the pavement like a Hefty Bag filled with vegetable soup...."

Hmm.

This thread is funny like something that is humorous.





It hurt the way your tongue hurts after you accidentally staple it to the wall.
This one reminded me of something out of Police Squad or The Naked Gun.

"It's like drinking a gallon of Draino. Sure it cleans you out, but it leaves you feeling hollow inside."

"It hurt, like jumping on a bicycle with the seat missing."

The vegetable soup almost made me crap myself.

I think some of these came from Police Squad and Naked Gun.

Todd was slightly less angry than a man who, after returning to his parking spot to find a truck double parked in front of his car and having spent the last hour in the lineup at the bank (all the while, thinking about the way his best friend had been flirting with his wife at a party the night before) followed by a run-in outside the bank with a bratty little kid carrying a water gun full of grape juice on the day the man had worn his new silk shirt, had just stepped on some gum.

As for the analogy, I don't really have one for you. I never really liked analogies anyway. I always felt that they were like union negotiations where the two sides tried to make two radically different ideas meet, except that the ideas were sort of similar already, and there wasn't really anybody on either side negotiating.

:laugh:
