The sailboat gracefully glided over the water, exactly like a bowling ball wouldn’t.

@trinitybat is that what that is from? I vaguely remembered it from a long time ago, and was reminded of silly similes/analogies 🤓

@FlockOfCats @trinitybat it does, doesn’t it! or maybe also Terry Pratchett. now i need to know if it’s an actual line from somewhere and if so, where 😅

@pippa @trinitybat

I saw it in some early “viral” material from the Internet circa 1996-97 in a list of “bad simile awards”

Not sure if this the OG or a copypasta, but it has the bowling ball one I thought of and one about a hefty bag that I also remembered
