From PC:

It's kind of like finding out your wife is pregnant and you run out and buy a wedding dress for the baby!....you don't know if it's a girl.......whether she'll like the dress......whether it will fit or even if she'll ever get married! All the while you can't pay the rent......don't have a job and your pretty sure you haven't slept with your wife in the last year!

From BrattyMac:

You want to paint the interior of your home. Well you've taped the windows, doors, laid drop cloths, painted the trim, cut the corners, patched the drywall, sanded rough spots. Lots of tedious, hard, unrewarding work that is so time consuming.

Now, it's time to roll.

Guys, thanks for your analogies...good ones!

PC, nice to see you still have a good sense of humour!

BM, I really hope you are right!
