The idea in this game is that one person posts the start of a reasonably well known phrase -- a famous quotation, the title of a book or film or song or whatever, the opening line or two of a poem, a traditional saying, or something else that they could reasonably expect a fair number of people to know -- and the next person to post then completes that phrase
differently from its proper form but in a way that still looks plausible and [hopefully] is funny. That player then posts the start of a phrase for the
next person to complete, and so on.
I'll do a couple of answers to start off, as examples.
Have fun!
(and, please, keep it clean...)
