Congratulations to the winner and runner up for October in Summit’s ongoing “Get to the Bottom of It” contest.
Winning headline:
Why isn’t phonetic spelled the way it sounds?
Scott Martin, Hugo
Runner-up:
What was the best thing before sliced bread?
Aubrey Nielsen, Crystal
Does Steven Wright, George Carlin or any of the other comedians who have said these things before get any credit?
If they said it before, I certainly didn’t recall it at the time I posted my entry.
Thanks to all who voted for me. 🙂
There is little or no originality of ideas. If we were to cite the source of the ideas we give voice to, our conversations would collapse under a deluge of footnotes, corrections, and asides.
I wasn’t speaking about your entry Aubrey. I thought yours was pretty good. Sorry for the broad statement.
I’m not harping or being negative about it. I just figured a quote used word for word was over the top.
No worries, DanK.
Prost!
Who invented irony? Steven Wright? George Carlin? Yogi Berra? Socrates? God? Or Dog?
