Great phrase

I just read the greatest phrase (by Harlan Coben, The Final Detail) ..the grass was tall enough to go on the adult rides at Six Flags... loving this - hope I can use it someday!

The torrential rain felt like acupuncture needles on my face.

She was about as shallow as a pool of spit.

Oh my god, it's late ... I must not be held accountable for this drivel!
