I’m not convinced that they’re all real, but if you’re looking for a good laugh (and who isn’t), then check out the list of funny metaphors used in high school essays from Help.com. A few of my favorites:

• “She grew on him like she was a colony of E. coli, and he was room temperature Canadian beef.”
• “The ballerina rose gracefully en Pointe and extended one slender leg behind her, like a dog at a fire hydrant.”
• “Her face was a perfect oval, like a circle that had its two sides gently compressed by a Thigh Master.”
