One of my favorites:
22. He was as lame as a duck. Not the metaphorical lame duck, either, but a real duck that was actually lame, maybe from stepping on a land mine or something.

Not so bad. Some of them are stretches though. (stretching to be funny)

Hahahaha those are hilarious. One of my favs:

From the attic came an unearthly howl. The whole scene had an eerie, surreal quality, like when you’re on vacation in another city and Jeopardy comes on at 7:00 p.m. instead of 7:30.

14. Long separated by cruel fate, the star-crossed lovers raced across the grassy field toward each other like two freight trains, one having left Cleveland at 6:36 p.m. traveling at 55 mph, the other from Topeka at 4:19 p.m. at a speed of 35 mph. [rofl] That's great!

They're funny but they weren't written by any students anywhere. I'd suggest that those were all written by one person.

From the school of Douglas Adams: The little boat gently drifted across the pond exactly the way a bowling ball wouldn’t.

Best one: Her vocabulary was as bad as, like, whatever.

My fav: 4. She grew on him like she was a colony of E. Coli, and he was room-temperature Canadian beef.

At least if real, they were not from British "English high school teachers".

Very funny nonetheless, They certainly cheered me up!

Quite amusing, not the best. Some of my english teachers at High School had better ones for sure. Need to hunt around for some, will post back later with results [yes]

reminds me of my favorite one from the series Blackadder:

"Slower than an asthmatic ant with heavy shopping".
