fish can't ride bicycles, they don't have any hands to hold the handle bars.They don't need hands if they've got good pectorals!

>For a stranger in a strange land it's often a temptation to pick up loose threads and run with them, go with the flow or grab the bull by the horns but sometimes discretion is the better part of valour and one should look before they leap to avoid stepping on other peoples toes or getting run over by fish riding bicycles. This may all sound like some tyred old clique but what goes around comes around. Which leads me to my point, fish can't ride bicycles, they don't have any hands to hold the handle bars
Well, I guess we can write fin(i)s to THAT one.

Sorry for jumping in so late, but I thought I'd share - not similes, but metaphors.
First favourite - surreal:
"Nobody, not even the rain, has such small hands."
(I shall leave it to the regulars to tell us where that is from - I have disguised it a bit...)
Second favourite - hard-boiled:
"It was the kind of neighbourhood in which they rolled up the pavements after dark."
(Can't remember which book, but anything by Chandler sounds favourite.)
