Ooohhh! I love it! Sandwiche is a brilliant metaphor and v much like something that I would come up with to try to esplain computers to myself (I have a hard time with that...) Hmmm... God = computers? Prolly not. Still, brilliant metaphor, and helpful for esplaining what Job was on about too.

Since you wanted to hear about silly metaphors I got one for you... well, not really a metaphor, but this is my version of the Papacy:

The Pope - in a nutshell:

Jesus - "hey Peter, look after these idjits while I'm gone"

Peter - "pope dance!" *does pope dance*

Peter - "I'm gonna die soon, someone else needs to do the pope dance now"

Peter - *dies*

Next Guy - "Pope dance!" *does pope dance*

*pope dance carries on for a while*

Some Guy doing the pope dance - "I'm gonna die soon. You guys fight over who gets to do the pope dance after me"

Two Other Guys - *fights*

Some Guy - *dies*

One of the Other Guys - "Rome ain't big enough for the both of us" *goes east*

Both Other Guys *intercontinental pope dance*

and so on and so forth.

Ah, the amusing things I think up in my spare time...
