I am trying to find a simile or metaphor that best describes the uselessness of the education lottery. The winner will receive a prize.
Early entries include:
As useless as the Currituck ferry
As useless as a DNA test for the 47th member of the Duke lacrosse team
Useless as an Ann Coulter doll to John Hood
Useless as a Dukakis campaign poster
Useless as the definite article to Tonto
Useless as an ashtray on a crotch rocket (don’t ask)
Useless as sound science to an environmentalist
