The following are actual winning analogies in the "worst analogies ever written in a high school essay" contest:
The little boat gently drifted across the pond exactly the way a bowling ball wouldn't. - this guy totally missed the point of "analogy"
Her hair glistened in the rain like nose hair after a sneeze. - what? You DON'T look up peoples noises after the sneeze, to get a glimpse of that nice, nose-hair glistening affect?
Her eyes were like two brown circles with big black dots in the center. - Description=/=Analogy
The hailstones leaped from the pavement, just like maggots when you fry them in hot grease. - we all know what that's like
Her date was pleasant enough, but she knew that if her life was a movie this guy would be burried in the credits as something like "Second Tall Man." - wait a minute! This one is actually a GOOD analogy!
