I like it, but fail to see your SAT type analogy.
Also, doesn't this fall out of the range of format this blog is known for?
I'm not going to argue that this idea wasn't as fleshed out as a real SATistician would flesh it, but this humorous off-the-wall brand of comedy is exactly within this blog's range of format. In short, deserts are a bad thing. Desserts are an awesome thing. Extremes. Forests can go either way. Therefore, forrests would go either way, as well.
I think the rule for SAT analogies was to make a sentence with the first analogy and plop in the second words to see if they fit.
So if you say "Rather than die alone in the desert, I would prefer to eat dessert" it works. Unless you don't like mints.
