My Entry

"Breathe a word of this to Batman and you're dead."

I have a feeling mine will be the 400th-or-so variation on this theme. Yes, I had to look up whether it's "Batman" or "Bat Man."

Now I'm starting to wish I'd used, "If this gets back to Batman, you're dead." Coincidentally, Meg just submitted that entry a couple minutes ago.

Poor Dan.

"I'm surprised you can ghostwrite for him. I've only
heard him say, 'Fee fi fo fum.'"

Ugh.

My Entry

"Our revenue is up, but we're no closer
to being rescued."

Clearly I was never inspired by this one.
