This is why one doesn’t leave doors wide open…

Here’s a quotation from Brian Cashman, the GM of the recently-crowned World Champions, the New York Yankees:

You can call us anything you want, but you also have to call us World Champions. [source]

And this is where the title of this post comes into handiness. On today’s edition of Wait Wait… Don’t Tell Me! (the NPR news quiz), Carl Kasell came up with this gem to Mr. Cashman’s invitation:

A group of wildly overpaid egotistical mercenaries whose pinstripes are actually artfully lined up steroid needles sewn into their uniforms. [source, scroll to 7:51]

[This in addition to calling them "world champions."]

Again, never leave questions wide open, because Carl Kasell, Peter Sagal, and the Wait Wait! crew will answer them for you.

-Edward Jensen
