Okay, I confess, I don’t know how many of these we’ve had. But I thought we’d lighten it up a bit from the political fare as of late and get back to some caption contests. Only now I want to juice it up a bit and offer a reward to the cleverest of you (three) readers out there: whoever comes up with the funniest caption will receive a free, signed copy of business partner and co-author Orrin Woodward and my book, Launching a Leadership Revolution. I will announce the winner on January 14th. Have fun! (You can click on the photo to enlarge).

This exchange takes place between the lady with the curly hair and her hands up, and the guy next to her in the green shirt:
Maude, “Duck! Duck!! DUCK!!!”
Cooter, just before he is nailed on the chin by the bat, “Goose . . . .”

“What I don’t get is when you post some real invigorating political stuff, like 4 of us comment. Cathy, Dean, Phyllis, and me (sometimes) and a couple others.
You post a caption contest and 6 million people have something to say. I thought for sure I’d have a 25% chance of winning it. Go figure.”
^^winner for not related to picture
As to respond, I either do not have much to add to the conversation (ignorant on subject, although I will sometimes look things up for more knowledge but forget to post anything) or it has been said by someone else already (6 million people saying good point or I agree is slightly redundant :)).

We first thought it it was one of those vampire bats, but after it landed on that guys face we could tell it was just one of those other kind.

Hey Darryl,
I believe you were the “couple others” I was referring to. I do remember seeing your name before. Basically, I wrote that post because I was pouting that my chances of winning the contest were greatly diminished:)
You should read Cathy’s response to my post, which is posted before yours. She really lays down the hammer.
My actual post is directly below my “nonrelevant” one. It’s pretty funny and it should win. I am admittedly a bit biased though:)

Hey Chris, I didn’t authorize you to use that picture of me. You have no idea how much dental work I had to have done because of that.
As for the rest of you, you should be ashamed for laughing at me. I was merely trying to enjoy a Detroit Lions football game when the Bloods and Crypts started a riot 3 rows ahead of me.

(To the tune of Survivor’s “Eye of the Tiger”)
A parody:
It’s the luck of the Irish,
It’s a bat in its flight,
Flying up into the seats worth $80.
A gray haired dude with his wife to his right,
And wearing his green t-shirt from Ireland.

Brent, you were trying to enjoy the Lions football game? Dude, I thought I knew you better than that! I think that guy wanted a bat to the face because he won tickets to the next Lions game. Or did his wife beat some sense into him for liking the Lions? Do you know the difference between Hell and a Lions game? Both places you will be tortured but only one of those has good heat!

Brent,
I am sorry if you felt I was “laying down the hammer” on you. I wasn’t, honest. I was just trying to offer a bit of perspective and a some of a reality check. I apologize if I hurt your feelings or offended you in any way.
Actually, in all honesty, I was kind of hoping some of the other folks would read it, and maybe think about reading more of the other kind of blog entries, and participating more there, too!
I think your caption is cute . . . Though I will admit, other than my second entry (the exchange between Maude and Cooter), I like the one by Paul Baggett best. It’s hysterical!

Cathy,
I didn’t think you were “laying down the hammer” on me. I figured you were “laying it down” on the others. No worries. Thanks for addressing it though.

( That’s where I got my big break! )
I was worried about retirement & stressed over work & the economy, so we went to the game to relax. Now with a comfortable living from pro baseball, I’ve got all the time in the world. We’ll never miss a home game again, after all the ride is free & lifetime season tickets, we’d be crazy to pass up a chance at a bonus check!

( Luck of the Jaw )
Mr. Sportsman, an avid collector of sports memorabilia, was attending a local game last week with his wife when he received the most recent addition to his collection. We spoke with his wife who said ” he’s always been lucky at sporting events. he’s like a game day magnet! He has hockey pucks, baseballs, a tennis racket, & a golf ball or two. Though, he has a lot, this bat is his most prized item & the envy of all his friends.”. Mr. Sportsman was unavailable for comments at the time of this interview, he was attending a bowling championship in a neighboring town.
