Thanks for all your entries. Here’s a selection of some of the other better lines we received this week:
“I get my income from properties, but it’s not very much.”
“No Bain, no gain!”
"Yes, I bought the Pennsylvania and Short Line railroads, fired all employees, and sold the trains for scrap metal."
“Who says I’m monopolizing the race?”
“There’s no way he’ll land on Pennsylvania Avenue.”
“I'm told 2nd prize in the SC beauty contest is not so bad.”
“Let’s just call the Cayman Island thing a bank error in my favor.”
“At least I’m mono-game-ous.”
Wow. I guess the outpouring of compliments goes out the window when someone you don't know wins.
I'll be the first to say it. Congrats, John! Solid win!
