There was a time in my life that I could have written this sentence purposefully, with tongue firmly planted in cheek. And gotten away with it. Had a teacher offer us extra credit for memorizing Hamlet's "To Be or Not To Be" soliloquy overnight. When it was my turn to recite, I came out with "Jabberwocky", got a few laughs, and the points. Still had to have the soliloquy down pat for the exam the next week, though.

Ah, as in "the bottom line."
or "Toeing the line"
Now I have that Tommy James song in my head...
I feel fine, I'm talkin' bout peace of mind, I'm gonna take my time. I'm gettin' the good sign... Draggin' the line (draggin' the line)
