    In the US, our newspapers and TV reporters have a style of leading a story with a stong first line (aka "Leading Lines")

    I came across one that had me laughing my butt off, and wondered what else you all have seen.

    Here's mine from today's Chicago Tribune

    Follow the white bunny...

    The Matrix continued: Does black leather turn you on?

    I don't know exactly why, but the second made me think of "Suomi"

    Chevalier (morning, getting up at second to third attempt): 'Is there some booze left?' :D :p

    Some nice ones from SP chatroom regulars can be found on Mystra's stats page. Several are even better than many famous movie quotes.
