With the new Perrin on its way I thought we should commemorate the occasion by praising the Lord God C.J. and his famous catchphrase. Here are a few examples...
I didn't get where I am today by having green frogs thrust down my crotch.
I didn't get where I am today by thinking.
I didn't get where I am today by biting people in the changing room.
I didn't get where I am today by wearing underpants decorated with Beethoven.
I didn't get where I am today by everything smelling of Bolivian unicyclist's jockstraps!
I didn't get where I am today by sleeping with sweaty, Caledonian chefs!
I didn't get where I am today by drinking a liquid that's only been tested on pencils!
I didn't get where I am today selling ice creams tasting of bookends, pumice stone, and West Germany.
Now's your chance to revive the phrase for the 21st century - I KNOW you won't let me down.
When I read these I just try and imagine in what context they were used...and fail miserably. Anyway here's three from me:
I didn't get where I am today by riding bareback on a watermelon.
I didn't get where I am today by smelling of liniment.
I didn't get where I am today drinking tea with the Duchess of Argle.
