   Responding to this post is like setting an elevator full of dogs on fire... I'm legally prohibited from doing it in Texas.

   Fixing a car is like making love to a woman. You just gotta pound on it for like twenty seconds. Thirty if you're feeling romantic.

   Here's a new one I just used.

   It's too long. 'Wrecking ball with anger issues' or 'wrecking ball demolishing a gingerbread house' are both more effective than combining the two. The impact of it is lost before the end of the sentence.

   From a friend of mine: It's like killing two birds by picking up one bird and throwing it at the other.

   I remember one I heard from someone in an improv comedy group, "Our love is like the moon landing, 19 and 69."

   Look, all stories can be boiled down to one of three basic conflicts:

   1) Man wipes his butt.

   2) Man wipes someone else's butt.

   3) Man versus giant butt monster.
