    The comet bombarded the moon's surface like a shiny spoon cracking open a bald head.



    Hollywood and Bollywood

    or,

    a bottle of perfume and a greasy frying pan.

    The bottle of perfume was about as pleasing to the nose as a greasy frying pan being wiped on ones tuxedo shirt.

    A pen and a credit card

    The pen had become stuck so far up there that he dreaded ever seeing it again, just as one dreads seeing a credit card bill after an evening spent with nothing but tequila and a mail order catalogue for company.

    A fish and a hooded jumper.

    The fish was wet, stinky, unpleasant to touch, and miserable-looking, much like a hooded jumper after having been worn by a normally-sweaty person who'd decided the time had come to work out on a hot summer day.

    A slug and a filing cabinet.

    The slug was much like a filing cabinet. It knew it needed to be finished with what it was doing, but it took so long to get there that, at the end, it was too much work and thought it'd be better to stay where it was.

    A lifejacket and a blade of grass.

    Seeing the blade of grass in the middle of the desert was like the sight of a lifejacket when about to drown in the sea, the oasis was nearby.

    My mistake had cancerous consequences, like buying fairness cream in place of tanning lotion.

    What is fairness cream, btw?

    Anyways...
    Violins and turkeys

    :D It's facial creams which makes the skin fairer, very popular among ladies in India... I guess it won't be so popular in a country like US where majority of the population is white. Also, it's popularity has something to do with most Indian men preferring fair skin girls.

    Oh, OK. I kind of figured as much. Our perceptions of beauty sure are funny, aren't they?

    The sound of the turkey's answering call was like the draw of a sweet violin in the hunter's ears.

    Caramel and shaving cream.

    The razor moved through the shaving creme like a spoon through melted caramel; John swore and muttered under his breath that he would never buy the "triple thick" brand again.

    The cowboy in his moment of pride, astride the bucking bronco, produced a howl like a dinosaur gloriously wailing before snatching its helpless prey.

    hamsters and gumballs!

    The hamster spun around and around in his red plastic ball, like a gum ball dropped from a child's hand onto a steep slope.

    Parakeets and steak knives

    He was not one of the world's great thinkers. Giving him an idea to ponder was like offering a steak knife to a parakeet.

    Mussels and spiderwebs.

    Powerless, like a fly trapped in a spiderweb, the mussels were swept into the swirling net.

    Giraffes and wine.

    He appreciated culture about as well as a giraffe appreciates fine wines.

    Mutton chops (facial hair) and alarm clocks

    The mutton chops were dazzling on the man, and set off ladies like an alarm clock.

    cell phone and chapstick

    Giving her a cell phone is like giving chapstick to a goat. You know it's going to be messy.

    Earwax and Internet commerce

    The continuous pop-ups of internet commerce are as irritating and distracting as earwax when one is listening to the Israel Philharmonic.

    Dollar bills and frogs' legs

    The dollar bill was as bent as a frog's leg, the key give-away being the fact it was blue, although the ever-attentive staff at the burger joint still took it.

    A Lego brick and a pair of sunglasses.

    Waving a Lego brick in his hands the boy ran towards the girl, and his teenage brother went towards his girlfriend flashing his pair of sunglasses, each with a mission to play a game.

    P.S. Not sure if it's called a simile if I don't use "like" or "as if".... anyway

    The bull fighter fought as a chef given old fish by his supplier.

    Weasel and textbook.

    The geometry textbook was only desirable to the junior like a rotten egg is to a weasel.

    whale oil and cell phones

    Captain James stood below deck and ignited his old fashioned whale oil lamp, lighting the cozy room like a cell phone in the dark.

    Diapers and frankfurters

    The frankfurter was so covered in chilly that it reminded the vegetarian of a dirty diaper.

    CDs and knee socks
