The painting was very Escher-like, as if Escher had painted an exact copy of an Escher painting.

This is the funniest wordplay I’ve read all week. Some lame analogy snippets:

The lamp just sat there, like an inanimate object;

Her face was a perfect oval, like a circle that had its two other sides gently compressed by a ThighMaster; and

 She grew on him like she was a colony of E. coli and he was room-temperature Canadian beef.
