This made me lol a bit
I think you mean rhetorical ; )
nice catch!
I know what a metaphor is, I guess I am confused as to how it applies here : /
OK, Just a little pinprick-There'll be no more-ah!
Mathmatical ?
Ah, then you mean a simile. : D

lololol
Simile means you are comparing him to be like something, metaphor means you are saying he is something. Entirely different concepts. They are both methods of relating one thing to another, but they do it in different ways and are entirely unique.
Well a simile is NOT a type of metaphor, but I guess since you didnt explicitly word a phrase about it in OP, it could go either way.
Random text quotes do not make a simile a type of metaphor. See I can do it too.
"A simile is a figure of speech that indirectly compares two different things by employing the words "like", "as", or "than".[1] Even though similes and metaphors are both forms of comparison, similes indirectly compare the two ideas and allow them to remain distinct in spite of their similarities"

Congrats, due to your recent knowledge sparked by this conversation, you now understand, and can properly create, a metaphor.
