"He's sharp as the corner of a round table." "She's so sad she's pulling a face as long as a fiddle." If startling similes leaving you "grinning like a basket full of possum heads," you'll love the book Intensifying Similes in English, published in 1918. It's available at no cost on the Internet Archive. This is part of a complete episode.
