Stop getting tickets, you wreckless driving hazard!

I think my point was that I DID NOT get a ticket...

I guess you're right. Allow me to rephrase:

Stop getting pulled over by police officers, you wreckless driving hazard!

Paper--because they stick to me.

For your "A" answer, you got your metaphor backwards (as I understood what you wrote). The tickets are the water, not you.

Tickets are to John like water is to paper

Tickets are to John
Water is to Paper

If I was paper, and the tickets were water, I would soak them. My grammar seems to support this.

You mean you would soak them *up*? And if you did soak them up, why would you have dry skin? You'd have wrinkly skin.
