caption contest, kid reading newspaper on toilet

Here we go, another week, another Monday, just like clockwork.  Also, another caption contest.   This week’s funny picture was sent in by a regular reader (who credits the infamous bacon and cheese diet for his regularity).  This picture features a little kid / baby sitting on a toilet reading a newspaper.  Obviously it’s been altered already, but we’ll use it anyway and see what happens.

So think of funny stuff to explain this picture or to add a story to it.   Remember, you get to write the story however you want to — you can base it on world events in the news, you can embellish a story, or you can even invent your own.  Just whatever you do — make it funny.

Easter eggs falling from the sky

Speaking of Easter eggs, a couple of years ago a church in South Carolina dropped 50,000 plastic Easter eggs from an airplane, for people to find.  They claimed that some eggs had prizes fit for adults.   As you might expect, we had an interesting discussion based on this:

That would have been hilarious, a field full of people waiting for the eggs to arrive, and then 50,000 eggs falling from the sky like pastel colored hail. I can see the news headlines now — “Easter bunny takes to sky, kills three”, “When Eggs go bad, the Easter Weekend Massacre”, and a Mythbusters episode where they not only prove that the Easter Bunny, Santa Claus and the Tooth Fairy are real, but they can kill you too.   And when you say with prizes fit for adults, I’m imagining a TV wrapped in a giant eggshell, and a couch, car, and boat done the same way. ~ Turtle Dundee, 4/9/07

Now I have a bonus Easter-related link for you.  This story is about a couple who hid real, hard-boiled Easter eggs around their house for their kids.  They hid two dozen, but found only 13.   I’ll leave the hilarious explanation for your reading, because it’s really funny how he explains what happened.  Here’s the link: Smells like Easter.  [link broken]

fart interrupts city council meeting

I don’t know if you’ve ever been to a city council meeting or seen one on TV, but they can be quite boring.   So obviously it would lighten things up if someone were to rip one outloud.  That’s what happens at the meeting in the video below, and the council members try to be responsible adults and not laugh, but it’s hard to not laugh at a well-timed fart (or two).

For some reason, this kind of thing happens all the time at Buffet o’ Blog staff meetings.  Never a boring moment…

caption contest, house being moved

Just like clockwork, it’s Monday, and I’m posting another caption contest for your enjoyment.  Yeah, I’m calling it a caption contest even though there aren’t any prizes.   (It’s really too bad that Cheetos sponsorship fell through!)  The “prize” is that you get to make people laugh.  Imagine writing something where dozens to hundreds of people read it and it makes them laugh.  You’d be like an internet celebrity!  And if you have a blog, you can link back to it by filling in that field, and that’s like free advertising for your blog.  I could go on, listing health benefits and social improvement and such, but you get the idea.   So all that said, write a funny caption for this photo.
