Rub it in, Echo.

Norman: “The only plaque I have is on my teeth.”

And they are worthless, take one to a bank

Ah, the truth is coming out, Echo! I wonder if you’re going to admit some of the “trophies” you won are just smiley face stickers on your paycheck! At least that’s better than the frowny face stickers I used to get.

During my Air Force years, if someone had a wall displaying their awards, etc, it was called that an “I Love Me” wall.

He’s holding out for a trophy wife.

My husband got a lot of them when he wrestled but they didn’t mean anything to him because you couldn’t buy a loaf of bread with one.

Trophies? We don’t need no stinking trophies.
