Answer 2

Answer: It paints a funny picture of the narrator’s visual perspective.

The simile in this passage (the assembly line churning out mismatched pairs of feet) is intended to paint a funny picture of the narrator's visual perspective. It is clear that the assembly line did not actually produce mismatched pairs of feet. Instead, the simile shows us the point of view of the character, even if his perspective is an unusual one.
