Stupid Analogies/Illustrations/examples you hear dubs say over and over

What are some stupid analogies that you here dubs use all the time to explain their faulty, destructing teachings? Or maybe ones you've used in the past that when you think about them now, make you cringe?

Here are a few that come to mind:

Blood Transfustions: "The bible says Abstain from Blood, if the bible said Abstain from alchohol, would you shoot alchohol into your veins?"

Evolution: If you were walking in the middle of a nowhere, and you suddenly saw a huge beautiful house, you wouldnt think it just got there by chance would you?"

Brain Washing: Well our brains could use a little washing!!

Holidays: We don't need holidays, because we give and get presents all year round!

Train controller letting son be run over by train rather than letting train full of people die.

Train controller = God

Son = Jesus

Train full of people = humankind

Five meetings = five fingers = which one would you like to lose

Jahna

The dent in the bread pan one. You know where Adam and Eve are the dented bread pan and now we all are dented.

That one lead me to find a witness in the most bizarre of places online. And I wasn?t even using it in the JW context!

Five meetings = 5 stepping stones to cross a river. If you skip one you might fall in to the worldy river. You might have avoided that bad thing that happened if you were at the meeting.

I hated this one! But I never really realized how lame it was until I tried using it on this girl in my high school Biology class. I said it and she was like: "Uh...but a house isn't ALIVE." I was speechless. lol

I remember a CO using this illustration. He actually delivered it quite effectively. It was the only memorial talk I remember anything about, and it was probably 15 years ago.
