Overheard in the Wolfe House #6

Sam (turning off the electric razor): That's it. I give up.

Peggy: Trying to get every last hair? Smooth as a baby's bottom? [pause]. That's an analogy Sam.

Sam: No it isn't. That's a simile. [launches into a detailed explanation of the difference between the two, with examples.]

Peggy: Thanks, Sam.
