So, here's how this works: I'm gonna put up a picture, and hopefully some folks will make up some funny captions for it. Then I get to pick the the one that makes me laugh the most and that person wins and gets to put up the next picture and pick the next winner, and so on and so on. Here's the first picture:



As an example, my caption might be:

I just got this adapter so my Mac can talk to your PC!

here's my caption:

the damn cable company is changing the cable again? How am I going to hide this ugly thing?

(Digital just isn't good enough and this on demand viewing requires alot of cable capacity. )

PS don't pick me, I don't have a cute picture. Just thought I would play.

Advantage?!? I think it's more of a disadvantage! biggrin.gif

Not only am I an easy target, but as an easy target, it's hard to find someone else to aim at.

You've won the right to put up the next photo and be the almighty judge.

It's all about bragging rights man which go with you to the grave unlike those tangible things

Their retirement plans destroyed by the drop in the stock market, Mr. and Mrs. Jones saw the writing on the wall with the Bush Administration's changes to the Social Security system: it was time to return to work. Luckily, Mr. Jones's extensive training at world-renowned labs specializing in explosives and weapons of mass destruction enabled him to join a federal government "return to work" education program at the local beautician school.

Since I dropped the ball, I will try to be only so-so funny.

PS: I tried to keep Sheldon out of the joke, I really did try...

Sadly, the effects were permanent as his charred finger never properly healed, either.
