New CB Quote Contest - 3 Winners (in Contests)

Ok, I have a new contest.

1. Entry fee is 10 k per 2 quotes. You may enter as many times as you wish.

2. A quote must be verifiable as being true and correct. You, or YOU, may not alter a quote.

3. The quote must sum up or reflect CB as a whole. (Search for quotes that best describe CB.)

4. Entry fee is to be sent to character Bank.

5. First prize takes 50% of pot. Second and third splits the remaining prize. Last contest paid out 200k.

My Example:


CB can be summed up:

"Not everything that counts can be counted, and not everything that can be counted counts."
