Same S***, different analogy

[rabidmidget]

Due to boredom, I randomly came up with this idea for a thread. Simply put, you need to think of a popular analogy, but change the comparison in a way that still makes sense. For example:

Original
Life is like a roller coaster, it has its ups and downs.

New version
Life is like a roller coaster, you'll be screaming at the very end. (doesn't have to be as dark as mine either)

To take down an old oak tree you have to attack the roots. Or you could set it on fire or get a chainsaw. Save yourself some time.

Best I could think off the top of my head. Sorry it's kinda lame.

Life is like an MMO, if you know someone powerful they can power level you up.

Life is like a box of chocolates; by the time you get there, someone else has eaten all the good ones.

A while ago I was talking to a friend of mine about that huge Star Wars painting [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/102152-Painter-Works-On-Star-Wars-Masterpiece-For-Seven-Months]. I was complaining about why the tauntaun was brown, as they're usually grey or white.

All of a sudden though, I thought this one up:

Life's like a chocolate tauntaun. You only get to the good bits when you really dig in.​

Get it? Get it?! Fantastic isn't it.

I laughed really hard at that one, you sir have won the internet once again.

Life is like a box of chocolates. And I hold all the boxes... um, what was I saying again? Oh, never mind. Shut up, I'm eating here!

You can't make an omelet without someone complaining about where the eggs went.

"Give a man a fish, and he'll eat for a day. Teach a man how to fish, and he'll be on his back drinking beer all day.


"Life is like a fridge: Everytime you think there's nothing left, you'll suddenly see either something that makes you really really happy, or some rotten thing you never wanted to see again."

doesn't everyone have those moments on which you see something horrifying, and then you try to forget it, but when you actually don't remember it, someone will remind you of it?

Life is like a box of chocolates, might contain nuts.
