The E. coli stuck to the meat like red sprinkles on ice cream.

Lauren sent me this list of 25 funny analogies.  The analogies are the winning entries to a writing contest by The Washington Post.  Here are a few of my favorites:

• She grew on him like she was a colony of E. coli and he was room-temperature Canadian beef. (Brian Broadus, Charlottesville)
• He fell for her like his heart was a mob informant and she was the East River. (Brian Broadus, Charlottesville)
• The ballerina rose gracefully en pointe and extended one slender leg behind her, like a dog at a fire hydrant. (Jennifer Hart, Arlington)
• She walked into my office like a centipede with 98 missing legs. (Jonathan Paul, Garrett Park)
• Her face was a perfect oval, like a circle that had its two other sides gently compressed by a ThighMaster. (Sue Lin Chong, Washington)

Ohhhh…there are so many more that made me laugh, but I’ll just end up copying the whole list here.  So go ahead and check out the list of 25, or the full list.

And make me laugh GBD…write a funny analogy for me in comments.

Thanks to Lauren!  Who made me laugh like school children at recess when they see that their teacher’s fly is open.
