I am very curious, after your last comment, to see what prompt we get tomorrow :) But today we have this one:

Gaining traction
The Sixticton School Board were meeting to discuss the new slogan for WrongStart, the foremost primary school in the region. So far they'd rejected Gaining traction as sounding too hopeful and too much like an agricultural college, Be Best for potential copyright issues and Happy kids are kids on Coke! as too overtly promoting branded drinks.
"We're left with No child left behind and Get wormed!," said the Headmaster, who'd put 'get wormed' in there as the obviously unchoosable option.
"I don't think we can use 'no child left behind', at least until we get a definitive answer on the kids we lost during swimming practice," said the Home Economics teacher sadly.

Greg - jeez, are those kids still stuck down there?

Also: Get wormed is now going to come to mind every time I need to think of a slogan for any reason whatsoever...
