Labels are like shoes. Say you’re about to go on a long walk on uneven ground, and so you try to buy some hiking boots. You wear a size 7, but the store only sells 6’s and 9’s. Neither fit, but if you don’t try to shove your feet into a 6 and deal, you’re going to spend your entire walk stopping to pick old bubblegum off your feet.
You know what’s a fun game? Pick two random things, then try to make a metaphor about them.
Random thing 1: School. Random thing two: Comedians.
…A school is like a comedian. It’s not as funny as it thinks it is.
