Sports car / gas mileage analogy needed

Ed_Collins · 07-26-2014, 07:36 PM

I'm at a loss for a good analogy. Help me out.

"Buying a sports car and worrying about gas mileage is like..."

I posed this question to a friend and her response was:

"...falling off a cliff and worrying about chipping your nail polish."

This is okay, but not exactly ideal. Can anyone come up with a better one?

"Buying a sports car and worrying about gas mileage is like..."

"...Getting a handjob and claiming you are stiff faithful to the wife."

Is like eating steak/lobster/mashed potatoes/apple pie and worrying about the calories in your glass of coke.

Is like ordering a Double cheese burger with fries biggie size, and an order of diet coke.
