Denny Miller never disappoints me...

Well he's entertaining to an extent. But be honest, can you understand what the hell he's talking about? He likes to use pretty strange analogies if you ask me, and plenty of them. He's a trip.

I catch about 90% of Miller's references. The other 10% sail over my head. I think my .900 batting average ranks me among the league leaders. Often, a joke is primarily funny because I know I'm the only guy in the room who gets it.
As for analogies, Miller can't go five minutes without using my favorite joke structure: "A makes B look like C." Like, "Duluth is so cold, they make Minneapolis look like Miami."
That works for me every time. Miller steps it up a notch, though, and would say something like, "He makes Hirohito look like Chamberlain."
