Caption Contest Winners Declared!!!! (Finally), and Caption Contest 2009.5

Ok, me sorry.  It's just so hard choosing winners!  All three of you readers out there are clever and make these competitions difficult to judge.  However, in the interest of fairness in advertising I have finally forced myself to select, by my totally fair, secret, and unassailable methods, the winners of both Caption Contest 2009.3 and 2009.4.  As usual, each of these clever winners will receive a free, signed copy of the Launching a Leadership Revolution book (simply give me your mailing info as a comment to this article and I will get the elves working on it immediately).  Congratulations!!!!

Caption Contest 2009.3

Winner: Gerard LaFleche  Caption: "Don't be fooled, that car is the notorious '2012 Pelosi GTxi SS/RT Sport Edition' and ranges just under $700K. Here it is seen being tested on the roads of Europe against a worthy adversary. The Pelosi's blue metalic sheen is standard Government issue."

Caption Contest 2009.4

Winner: Nate C.  Caption: "What an eye (headlight) opener!"  CORRECTION: This winner was actually Sophie Cleary (who is the writer of that caption).  Sorry about the confusion.  Thanks for letting me know, Nate!

    Wow! MDOT (Michigan Department of Transportation) has gotten so advanced that they can calculate where branches will fall and they can paint the line with exact precision so that drivers will be able to see the entire line after the branch falls. I wonder what new technology is coming for pothole repair?

    Because of the dangers of exhaustion from boredom while painting miles of a single white line, Jed’s co-workers are required to add excitement to the job.

    Although white line paintin requires years of prep school trainin and monthly licensin renewal, Jed was hired straight outta high schoo since his dad owns the compnay.
