The update at the top gives it away

These analogies are the winning entries in a 1999 Washington Post humor contest, and there are more than 25.


Its like the posts about students answering questions on exam papers. Whilst the original idea was genuine, most are fabricated simply for "Sh*ts and giggles" Razz

Still, funny is funny Very Happy

The one about E. Coli on the Canadian beef had me smiling like a man who recently found out that his ex wife has just eaten some Canadian beef that had E. Coli growing on it.

The hailstones leaped from the pavement, just like maggots when you fry them in hot grease.

A potential serial killer i think.

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.

Either a terrorist or Evil Genius

The young fighter had a hungry look, the kind you get from not eating for a while.

Petrol attendent for life
