The creativity of aspiring writers can sometimes go in some pretty funny directions, and none are more humorous than these, um, unusual analogies written by high school students. We were highly amused when we stumbled upon this collection of analogies attributed to being the 56 winning entries in a 1999 Washington Post humor contest for the "Worst Analogies Ever Written In A High School Essay."
