I love to make really bad similes/metaphors like "I have the memory of a fish with very poor memory" or "I'm as tall as a tree thats my height".

Another one I've gotten a lot of good mileage out of

I once joked to my wife that avocados need to get better prizes because I always seem to get the same one- a little wooden ball.

Now, anytime I'm in the kitchen preparing something with avocados, I'll let out an audible groan of frustration.

Which always prompts my wife to ask, usually from the other room "What's wrong?"

To which I always reply "Another wooden ball"

Always good for a groan and some eye rolls from the wife. She never seems to see it coming.
