I think the example given in the teaser was "Never really finished anything, except cake. "
Anyone game?
Edit: Here's the link to the radio article. It runs in RealPlayer. I don't know if that's a problem for Apple users.

Okay, sorry, I couldn't resist. Which brings me to my memoir:
Generally looking for a punch line.
I don't like muffins because I never finsih them.
and...
Never knew how to spell (or count).
Let's see, Cody. Now that would be all the fingers on one hand, plus one on the other hand.
On the other hand, Cody, you certainly count in this family.
Okay, not really my memoir but thinking of Cody's line...
I never finish anything except for
Uncle Matt, that made me laugh out loud. You found that punch line.
Still trying to figure it out.
Sasha, that is such a good one! Take your time, honey. Once it is figured out, the gates shut tight and no more learning happens.

Side note - Uncle Matt - Krystof said he can log on and read everyone else
