Probably.

I was looking at your (very good) site, but I can find none there?

The only tag line I know is, "You're it!"

No, I meant I added a tag line to the discussion. Jerry says."I don't think you do." to the car rental agent when she says she knows why they take reservations. Tha was one of my favourite scenes.

And you are correct I do not have a list of tag lines - but I will help complile one from the input the readers give to your post.

Now I remember - I just had to get the context!

IMO, many of the supplied lines aren't funny, or only funny if you are a devout Seinfan. I'd rather that the lines were funny in itself. I think my sig line is (since I also scuba dive).
