Parting shots

Just to confirm the fact that any sentiments expressed by Katie Couric at the end of each evening newscast are entirely disingenuine, she's asking the viewing audience to come up with what will be her trademark parting phrase.

Here's my suggestions:

"If you think that as hard, try doing that with Tri-Delt anniversary pin nipple piercings."

"I'm Katie Couric, and I get my own bathroom. Not because I demanded it in the contract, but everyone else put it in theirs."

"I'm done, and if my kids are watching instead of doing their homework, you're getting the belt again."

"CBS. See B S. Heh heh heh."

"Thank you for 22 minutes of your undivided attention. Want a goddamned receipt?"

"From New York, with Betsy Cronkite's blood on my hands, I'm Katie Couric."

"Buy all the products you saw and make Aunty Katie happy, okay?"

"And now, your local news. Then, when that crap is over, CSI."

"I still don't make enough money to buy my soul back from Satan."

"Pull my finger."

"... and to all of our illegal alien viewers, you can switch back from the second audio program now."

"It's the Batsignal!"

"Hey, their first pick was John Madden. Deal with it."

"From New York, making more errors and dollars per minute of work than Derek Jeter, I'm Katie Couric."

Got better? Put 'em in the comments.
