caption contest, people in field

This week’s caption contest features a number of leaders (like generals, admirals, colonels, etc) watching some people lined up in a field.  Are the people about to race, or are they planting or harvesting?   Or is something completely different going on?  No one knows, so you get to make it up.  (And to anyone who might get offended, remember this is just humor, so take a load off and lighten up.)

caption contest, guys standing by exploding fireworks

Here’s our next caption contest, since it’s Monday.   This week’s photo features a couple of guys standing in the midst of firecrackers exploding.  Or so it seems.  The actual story could be anything, because you get to make it up.  So write a funny caption explaining what’s going on.  If nothing comes to mind immediately, let your mind wander for a few minutes while staring at the picture.  And remember, you get to invent the story, so it can be almost anything you want.

caption contest, public toilets with audience seats

This week’s caption contest features a very unusual photo — a covered stage that’s outside, with benches for the audience, and there are two toilets on the stage.  The sign on the wall says “WC”, which I suppose means water closet.  There’s also a window with bars.  I have no idea what the actual context is, but that doesn’t matter because we’re going to make it up.   So write something funny to explain what’s going on here.  And remember to keep it clean.  You can use potty humor, just don’t use vulgar language.

I realize this caption contest is a little easier than some, but don’t let that hinder your creativity.   Here’s some ideas for exploring different perspectives.  Who designed this and why?  What kind of story is told on this stage?  What would the audience think?  What would be a good advertisement for this play?  What might a critic think?  You could also make up a story to explain it, whether entirely fictional or using your friends or incorporating current news events.   There are a lot of possibilities with this one.

the Important Doctor on migraines

One day a while back I had a migraine, and I happened to run into the “Important Doctor” that occasionally writes comments on this blog, and I told him how I was trying to keep a good attitude despite the immense pain.   Do you know what he said to me?  Think on this:

At least you’re healthy enough to feel bad.

What does that even mean?  Is that supposed to make me feel better?  Is he a philosopher or a doctor?
