best or funniest "jack-ism"

Probably for irony purposes, at least to people in the biz. I've heard the Jack version of the package on TM's web site and in many cases on the long jingles they cut, most of the original lyrics are still there until it's time to say "Playing what we want."

Aesthetically, most of the shorties are still pretty good (although they'd be better with the LA singers that originally cut them than with the Dallas singers the Canada Jacks used--and from what I hear, most of the people who cut "you," "The Winning Score" and "Fusion/Hot Hits" are still doing session work in LA).
 
Related to yours, "Bob wonders how much deeper the ocean would be if it did not have any sponges."

I think Philadelphia has the best chance of Jack "hijacking" the format from Ben. Which brings this hypothetical.

"Jack thinks that Ben should stick to flying a kite."

Jack in Denver has some pretty funny ones:

105.5 Jack FM... exploring new ways for you to spend your money (into stopset)

105.5 Jack FM... Alright, heads we play commercials, tails we play more music... (sound of coin flipping and hitting the ground, then they go into either commercials or music without anything else said. lol)

105.5 Jack FM... you're in the middle of a buncha songs in a row... Ok, not right in the middle, but who are you? The middle police?

105.5 Jack FM... We're going to take a commercial break, and take these fiiine people's money...

Those are just a few...

Jack-Kansas City was doing some sort of variation on "My Way" from Frank Sinatra. I forgot what the dude said, but it was funny.

"SAM will be back...we've gotta go download some more music!"

Re: best or funniest \

"We just discovered a genie hidden in your radio. If you rub it, you'll get to make a request. Ready? Rub it. Rub it. Harder. Keep rubbing! There. Now your radio's nice and clean. Oh yeah, the genie's missing."

"Imagine if the FCC gave a radio license to a bunch of morons who played whatever they want. Wait a minute..."

And my favorite so far...

"98.3 JACK FM. We've upped our standards. So up yours."
