"He steered his thoughts away from the subject of sex, his brain as nimble as an aircraft carrier."
Metaphor in Context
Someone he cared for dearly was engaged in some kind of nervous col apse, and he should concentrate on that, rather than the three girls behind her who had just started a water-fight...
Concentrate! Concentrate. He steered his thoughts away from the subject of sex, his brain as nimble as an aircraft carrier.
'How about that guy?' he said.
