An agent’s favorite bad similes and metaphors

Found this and thought it worth sharing:

  • The small boat glided gently across the pond, exactly the way a bowling ball wouldn’t.
  • John and Mary had never met. They were like two hummingbirds that had also never met.
  • His thoughts tumbled around in his head, making and breaking alliances like underpants in a dryer without any Cling Free.
  • He was as tall as a six foot three inch tree.
  • Her eyes were like big brown circles with little black circles in the middle.
  • His vocabulary was as bad as, like, whatever.

Want to take a shot at making up your own terrible comparisons?

I see that smile.
