The Danger of Metaphorical Excess

I left work yesterday in a severe grump -- work had been exceptionally scattershot. I was getting together with ladysprite in the evening, and was thinking on the way home about how I could describe my day in biological metaphors for her. (She being the doctorly sort.) I found myself giggling hysterically after I came up with the following (apt but horrifically stretched) metaphor, so it's worth writing down.
( It's Aliiiive! )
