    * He was as tall as a 6′3″ tree.
    * Her face was a perfect oval, like a circle that had its two sides gently compressed by a Thigh Master.
    * She had a deep, throaty, genuine laugh, like that sound a dog makes just before it throws up.
    * The ballerina rose gracefully en pointe and extended one slender leg behind her, like a dog at a fire hydrant.
    * Her vocabulary was as bad as, like, whatever.
