  8. She was as sick as the college kid so reticent to just "try" the moldy noodles behind his bed.

    He was taller than our principle who more fumbled in heels rather than truly walking in them.

    She relaxed like I crapped, with great exertion and lots of breath.

  12. She was sick as a knotted stomach that fought so hard to move something through it.

    He was taller than the statue of liberty maybe that's why they called him the green man who liked younger women.
