WINNERS
FIRST
PLACE
"And
this is our most popular seller—the Fuller Brush With
Death."--Anonymous
(JUDGE'S
COMMENT: Antiquated but nimble word play. As a kid I thought the guy knocking on the door was a “Full-of-Brush man.” Fun fact:
both Billy Graham and Paul “Pee-wee Herman” Reubens once peddled this crap door-to-door.)
SECOND
PLACE
"I
just found out that you're my fodder!"--Tim H (JUDGE'S
COMMENT: Works better if we assume the guy has a Brooklyn accent. As
always, Tim's comic fodder is scattershot but painless. )
THIRD
PLACE
"You'll
go down in history as Cannonball Henderson...right along side Aerial
Castro."--Anonymous (JUDGE'S
COMMENT: Aerial is the now-dead psychopath who held women hostage in
Ohio. History will not be kind to him. Cannonball, of course, was
Ricky's lesser-known younger brother.)
HONORABLE
MENTIONS
"No,
no, this is the way we vote in Egypt."--Don
Don (JUDGE'S
COMMENT: As Don surely knows, it was the lovely and talented Mao
Zedong who said “Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun.”
)
"How
many times must the cannon balls fly before they're forever
banned?"--Kathy
H (JUDGE'S
COMMENT: Those familiar with the classic song from which this cap is
derived know Dylan rhymes “forever banned” with “sleeps in the
sand.” The man's a freakin' genius is all I'm saying)
"Thanks
for doing this. We don't usually get people of your caliber in this
line of work."--Tim
H (JUDGE'S
COMMENT: What a grateful nation should have said to Barry when he was
sworn in the first time.)
"You
were supposed to attach the fuse, Billy. You crazy bastard."--smuck
(JUDGE'S
COMMENT: Nice bastardization of a classic but why would the guy
inside the canon be responsible for the fuse?)
"Shut
up, Simmons. Everyone knows your gun carriage is a caisson."
--
Jim
Cavanaugh (JUDGE'S
COMMENT:
Caisson, it turns out, is a chest or wagon that holds or ammunition.
Simmons was a guitarist for KISS. Noted.)
"...and
when you reach evrolet girl's face, use this to put her mascara
on."--NAMBY
(JUDGE'S COMMENT: She is a big
woman and it does look like a mascara wand so...)
"Hurry
up or Judge alinla will dispense of us early!"--Anonymouse
(JUDGE'S COMMENT: As in happens
I'm runing behind again but I'm on the job, more or less.)
"Sit
tight, Putin talked Al into delaying the voting"--Anonymous
(JUDGE'S COMMENT: Topical and clever. As
Mrs. al in la can attest, I can be talked into almost anything.)
"Doesn't
matter where you land or how creative you are, all we know with
certainty is that you'll fly way over al's head."--Anonymous
(JUDGE'S COMMENT: I don't get it.)
