The Top 15 Things Overheard on
the Striking Writers' Picket Line
- "I don't think anyone is getting the point of the blank picket signs."
- "Between you and me, this is a relief. I was getting sick of ripping off Aristophanes and Plato for 'Family Guy' scripts."
- "I thought all problems worked themselves out in 30 minutes -- or an hour max."
- "Look, pal, we're *all* mad as hell, and we're *all* not gonna take it anymore. So just shut up and walk, willya?"
- "It's like they want us to sit around and write humor for free! What kind of suckers would fall for such BS?"
- "Our public needs us. You can practically hear the pitiful cries for more Paris Hilton jokes."
- "Leno's paying his comedy writers out of his own pocket during the strike? That's amazing! When did Leno start using comedy writers?"
- "Man, write *one* episode of 'Baywatch,' and people just don't take you seriously as an artist anymore."
- "If I have to go a few more weeks without a paycheck, the next catch phrase I crank out will be 'Would you like fries with that, Willis?'"
- "As soon as the networks start filling with reruns of 'According to Jim,' we win, baby!"
- "Right in the middle of my pitch for a musical based on a cross between 'Terminator' and 'Legally Blonde,' the producer says, 'Good thing you guys are going on strike.'"
- "Eva Longoria is personally delivering free pizza to the picket line, and you think we want to *stop* striking?!"
- "I had an original idea once, but luckily I forgot it before the studio had me euthanized."
- "Be careful who you talk to. That magazine interview I did the other day turned up as a scene in last night's 'Smallville.'"
and the Number 1 Thing Overheard on the Striking Writers' Picket Line...
- "Dude, your sign's misspelled."
