Grow yourself to goal

[Jonathan Lighter]

It says here, "Doctors prescribe CRESTOR when diet and exercise aren't
enough to get cholesterol to goal."

A UPS ad has a bunch of post-teens (apparently high, which is why they need
an elderly, thirty-something mentor) starting up a company in a loft with
nothing but laptops.

Amid the hilarity, they shout that "being good" "grows us to goal!"

But if you're not on drugs (prescription or otherwise), you'll probably say
"to (one's) goal."
