A small device that mounts on the torso, which alerts the user of a mis-reported simile, and applies a 250V shock of relatively mild amperage (5 farad capacitors avoided for additional cost savings).
Recommended for literalists, humanists, and John. :)

I'm sorry; I want to understand this. What is a "mis-reported simile?" Are you trying to say that the meanings of the words "metaphor" and "simile" are sometimes misunderstood, and that there should be some sort of mechanized way of alerting people when this happens? |

is this like something we have already discussed? |

How about just a nudge in the ribs? |

they are here, they have always been here; among us.... |

Metaphors are like hushed similes. |
