500-1000 Word Maximum- You got to be efficient. There is countless ways to try and win this competition.

Lower Decks often contained references to previous Trek shows/movies, so in addition to being funny, your anecdote should also include as many references to Star Trek past and present as possible, the more obscure the better.
