This is a split from a very amusing thread (found here) and quoted courtesy Romes in that thread.

Give it your best shot! Rules:

1. One one-liner per post (to give others a chance).
2. Someone else must post (not necessarily a contest entry) before you can post again (at least one other person).
3. Game ends November 17th, 12am Eastern US (9pm Las Vegas)
4. Judges will be Mission, Face, and me. We will each award from 1 to 8 points (total) for humor, originality, and pertinence.
5. Highest scoring quip will win $25 US paid by me via Paypal NLT Nov. 20. Judges' decisions are final. Judges are not eligible.
6. All entries must be within TOS guidelines, including profanity.

Example: You MIGHT not be an AP if....you always hold a Jack with a pair of 5's on JOB VP, because "Jacks always come when you have 5's. Just like 10's go with 3's." (Yes, someone actually said this to me.)
If the House lost every hand, they wouldn't deal the game.

If your strategy to win involves doubling your bet whenever you lose, you might not be an AP.
May the cards fall in your favor.

Guys,

Remember the game rule; no flooding the thread. You have to wait for someone else to post before you can go again. There's been a couple of those already. If you followed yourself and want your second one to count, go back and delete it there, and re-post it.
