Similes are like<br />
diamonds from heaven<br />
By: Dr. Tom Hanks, above-average English professor<br />
Good day! Greetings students, fellow<br />
faculty <strong>and</strong> common riff-raff. Today, I’ll<br />
be treating you to a piece as timeless<br />
as the rivers that suckled our early<br />
civilizations. I’m addressing, specifically,<br />
the importance of similes in everyday<br />
use.<br />
Similes are as crucial to successful<br />
conversation as anti-Semitism is to the<br />
Palestinian cause. <strong>The</strong>ir value is like<br />
Baylor’s immeasurable debt. Some claim<br />
erroneously that similes are like metaphors.<br />
Not so! Similes are far more<br />
striking, much like lightning during a hot<br />
summer’s night. Sometimes when a metaphor<br />
is utilized to make a comparison,<br />
it’s as useless as a three-legged dog<br />
at the racetrack. Similes are always effective, like the whiskey<br />
I occasionally put into my coffee to sooth my nerves.<br />
Similes also trounce metaphors in their street cred. Ever<br />
since the movie Clueless, everyone can, like, find a way to introduce<br />
a simile into conversation. Metaphors are like ice-cream sundaes,<br />
nice to think about but sticky in reality. Not only that, but<br />
a conversation without similes is as lifeless as immigration reform.<br />
In fact, similes are as important to democracy <strong>and</strong> free-thinking<br />
as football is to Baylor. A people without it are like a sunny day<br />
without warmth. Conversations are left as cold as Larry Chonko’s<br />
heart when grading business projects.<br />
So, I encourage you all to learn the importance of similes,<br />
just like the drunken frat boy to your left learned the legal<br />
system, by experience. Enjoy similes like I enjoy my job: every<br />
day!
