You all know this:

"Life is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're gonna get."

Now for others:

Life is like eating grapefruit. First you have to break through the skin;
then it takes a couple of bites to get used to the taste, and just as you
begin to enjoy it, it squirts you in the eye.


Life is like a banana. You start out green and get soft and mushy with age.
Some people want to be one of the bunch while others want to be top banana.


Life is like cooking. It all depends on what you add and how you mix it.
Sometimes you follow the recipe and at other times, you're creative.


Life is like a jigsaw puzzle,but you don't have the picture on the front of
the box to know what it's supposed to look like. Sometimes, you're not even
sure if you have all the pieces.


Life is like a maze in which you try to avoid the exit.


Life is like a room full of open doors that close as you get older.


Life is like riding an elevator. It has a lot of ups and downs and someone
is always pushing your buttons. Sometimes you get the shaft, but what really
bothers you are the jerks.


life is like a poker game. You deal or are dealt to. It includes skill and
luck. You bet, check, bluff, and raise. You learn from those you play with.
Sometimes, you win with a pair or lose with a full house. But whatever
happens, it's best to keep on shuffling along.
