I tripped over this and thought I would share:

Funny metaphors used in high school essays

There's a couple quotes that have me curious, I wouldn't mind reading the works they came from. Creating a funny tangent is a comedic gift.

This writer has a Douglas Adams vibe:

Have a funny metaphor or link to some writing humour? Please share (and leave a comment)!
