Exemplary metaphor use in everyday life.

From the Oregon subsection of Overheard Everywhere:

Dude: Have you ever masturbated?
Chick: Uh... No...
Dude: Seriously? To me that's like... like standing in front of a house of cards for, like, 18 years and just never being like, 'I'm going to tip that shit over.'

My favorite was always the girls in high school who not only didn't do it, but got on their boyfriends' cases about it. I'm pretty sure the number one reason why I had so many male friends in high school is because I never actually tried to tell anyone that jerking off was immoral. I sort of realized after about four years that my feelings of inferiority toward the plastics of my high school were a little bit ridiculous; not only was I not going to community college, I knew what an orgasm was! It was a pretty great moment.

Oh man, the ludicrous amount of baggage our culture attaches to masturbation in general and female masturbation in particular ... *shakes head* I could go on and on (and have on many prior occasions).

not only was I not going to community college, I knew what an orgasm was!

Aahahhaaha. You're great.

Although I feel like that's changing! It used to be seriously taboo and now there are references in mainstream TV and all that. Then again, my perspective could be skewed. Bryn Mawr has, like, sex toy parties where everyone goes and talks about their "experience." Oh, women's colleges. They're a little quirky.

What's the statistic? 80% of the adult population masturbate, and 20% lie?

Something like that ...
