Bathos personified - I remember those slap-handed compliments we thought were so cute as teenagers.

Your teeth are like stars - They come out at night.

Your lips are like petals - Bicycle petals.

Your eyes are like pools - Football pools (UK surrogate lottery based on soccer results)

SO do Catters have any more?

Darling, your eyes are like precious stones - rubies - small, red, and beady.

You're so smooth - so is sump oil.

Your hair is like a golden shower.....

You have such lovely long hair, shame it's not on your head.


Him: Has anyone ever told you you're beautiful?
Her: No! (flutter flutter)
Him: I'm not surprised!

Golden Shower ? wet and bedraggled or is this an obtuse reference to Golden Rain?

Different words, presumably same meaning....

I nearly had a childish accident last year after the Golden Jubilee fireworks at Buck House when a radio commentator describing fireworks uttered the immortal line "Oh isn't that glorious, a tremendous golden shower all down the front of Buckingham Palace".

Dorothy Parker was reputed to have had a long and deliciously virulent antipathy for Luella Parsons. Once, when their cabs happened to arrive at the entrance to a New York eatery at the same time, Mrs. Parsons hurried to the doorway to oopen and hold it for Mrs. Parker. Acting as the doorman, Mrs. Parsons grandly exclaimed, "Age before beauty, my dear."

Not missing a beat, Mrs. Parker demurred, ". . . and pearls before swine, Luella."

Which should actually be:

Lady whose name I forget: Sir Winston, you are drunk sir!
Sir Winston Churchill: And you madam are ugly, but in the morning, I shall be sober!

I had heard that the Churchill connection to that quote was apocryphal so I didn't credit him with it.

(And I heard the female in question was Lady Astor)

Mr. Red - the way I heard it - "Your eyes are like pools - cess pools!"

Also - "With the wind and the rain in your hair - you look like the business end of a mop !"

She had a peaches and cream complexion.... All fuzzy and covered in white stuff....

"Darling, I could live in your eyes for ever."
"You'd be at home in the right one. It's got a stye in it."

And with all due care about not making this a music oriented thread, I always get a giggle over some of the serious lines in some songs...

"Her hair upon her shoulder, in jet-black ringlets fell...." Plenty on her shoulder, none on her head.
