Like Sewing Molasses to a Potato.

My sister Tree once came up with the great analogy of trying to accomplish the impossible: “It’s like Sewing Molasses to a Potato”

This world needs more hilarious analogies like this one. Here’s my challenge to you, come up with absurd analogies that could be used to describe a scenario. (similes and metaphors are cool too)

A few examples:

The tumultuous day progressed like a bodybag rolling down a hill.

She could build a bridge out of gravy and optimism.

Morning hit like a wrecking-ball to a church.

Good luck!

    It was hotter than the devil’s car when he leaves it parked in the sun all day.

    Some jerks are allways trying to ice skate uphill.
    “a bonus MikeD point if you can name that movie”

    I’ve heard of the variation of “trying to nail jello to a tree”

    and the always favorite, “When mom started yelling the kids disapeared like a cupcake on Sander’s desk.”

    “That’s as likely as Mike D leaving Connecticut” to describe the low likelihood of something happening.

    “Like a schoolroom in July” was always a favorite.

    I don’t remember Blade saying “jerks”

    I like the classics
    “I’m out, like a fat kid in dodgeball”
    “I love ****** like a fat kid loves cake”

    “I’d like to lick the icing off of her cake” is another gem I’ve been known to use.
