caption contest, car attacked by birds

Last week’s caption contest dealt with a serious topic — the oil spill.  Since we can’t have too much seriousness here on this blog, this week’s caption contest will use a photo that leads to easy jokes and easy humor — a car windshield covered in bird poop, and the car’s owner looking quite distraught.  So write a caption explaining what’s going on here or what the woman is thinking or what her friends are thinking, or make up something totally different.  Just keep it clean and funny.

my favorite animal

I don’t usually post non-original jokes here, but I heard one last night that I thought was really neat (and it even makes some valid points while being funny).

Our teacher asked us what our favorite animal was, and I said, “Fried chicken”. She said I wasn’t funny, but she couldn’t have been right, because everyone else in the class laughed.

My parents told me to always be truthful and honest, and I am. Fried chicken is my favorite animal. I told my dad what happened, and he said my teacher was probably a member of PETA. He said they love animals very much. I do, too. Especially chicken, pork and beef.

Anyway, my teacher sent me to the principal’s office. I told him what happened, and he laughed too. Then he told me not to do it again.

The next day in class my teacher asked me what my favorite live animal was. I told her it was chicken. She asked me why, just like she’d asked the other children. So I told her it was because you could make them into fried chicken. She sent me back to the principal’s office again. He laughed, and told me not to do it again.

I don’t understand. My parents taught me to be honest, but my teacher doesn’t like it when I am. Today, my teacher asked us to tell her what famous person we admire most. I told her, “Colonel Sanders”.

Guess where I am now…

caption contest, dumping balls in water

My week of stuff (i.e., vacation) is over, so the frequency of posts should return to normal now.  Starting this week will be a caption contest, as is custom.  This week’s photo features men in uniform dumping black plastic balls into the water.  Is this related to the current news of BP’s oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico?  Or is it something completely unrelated?  You get to decide.  Leave a comment saying what you think is going on.  The only rules are that it must be clean, and try to make it funny.

caption contest, swimmer in ocean

Posts may be sparse this week because I’ve got a lot of stuff to do*, but I’ll still get you a weekly caption contest!  This week’s photo features a swimmer in the ocean, but the water doesn’t look normal in a couple of ways.  Could this be related to the recent oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico?  Or could something else be going on?   Is this from a sci-fi movie?  Or is there some random story behind it that no one has ever thought of before?  You get to decide.  Leave a comment (or several comments) with whatever you can think up.
