When analogies crash and burn

Our choir director during tonight's rehearsal:

"You all sound like you're singing in the shower!"

"You mean loudly and joyfully like we don't care who can hear us?"

"No. Too quietly. Like you're trying not to wake up the cat asleep in the sink."

    Nope, not me. I was the one surreptitiously studying Middle Egyptian vocab off flashcards.
