We're talking about something completely different here.

Simile: A figure of speech in which two essentially unlike things are compared, often in a phrase introduced by like or as -- i.e. you are like some who says he doesn't need to read geography books because he doesn't plan on leaving town.

Your questions are sophomoric.

Simile - sometimes used on freerepublic to attempt to make a point, when nothing else works.
