Funniest High School Analogies.

By Alex in Everything Else on Nov 22, 2006 at 11:48 am


Yes, this list of the funniest (or worst) analogies written by high school students is quite old (and you’ve probably gotten it as a viral email), but it’s still entertaining nonetheless. Some gems:

Long separated by cruel fate, the star-crossed lovers raced across the grassy field toward each other like two freight trains, one having left Cleveland at 6:36 p.m. traveling at 55 mph, the other from Topeka at 4:19 p.m. at a speed of 35 mph.

He was as tall as a six-foot, three-inch tree.

He fell for her like his heart was a mob informant, and she was the East River.

He spoke with the wisdom that can only come from experience, like a guy who went blind because he looked at a solar eclipse without one of those boxes with a pinhole in it and now goes around the country speaking at high schools about the dangers of looking at a solar eclipse without one of those boxes with a pinhole in it.

    some of these are new to me some i've seen around numerous times before, but they still don't ring true the syntax is too clever and correct, the gags just a little too neat and the cultural references just too studied to be high school students. What high school student has any experience of using tunble dyer anti static fresheners?
    Funny but sorry entirely untrue in my opinion

    And they're not analogies (this is to this as that is to that), which illustrate parallel relationships; they're similes (this is like that).
