Caption Contest Fridays #51
It’s FRIDAY!! That means it’s time for a caption contest (and the fact that we never really have a winner is besides the point). I found this photo on a web site that featured dozens of lost photos. Most of them were of this family that owned a liquor store and that is where I found this one. You know how it works: come up with a funny caption for this picture and leave a comment (or two or three). Thanks! Please keep it clean.
“…..Breaking News…A young man in a brown sport coat was struck by a bus and killed today in front of the Leaning Tower of Eiffel. Witnesses say he failed to look both ways before he crossed the street…More news and a spceial segment on ‘Why Flowered Dresses are OUT This Summer’ coming up”
40 years, Don thought. 40 years of pure, unadulterated hell trying to please a woman that could never be truly pleased.
Now we’re in f’n France. “So much for that fishin’ boat I was going to buy for my retirement”, he said out loud.
What?! Marion squawked. “Have you snapped the picture yet Don?” Hurry up! The sun won’t be in the optimum position to highlight my new sunglasses soon!”
Her high pitched shrieks and demands cut through Don’s ears and brain like a laser.
He felt light headed as he framed up the shot. “Look at those hotshots back there, I used to be cool like that.” He muttered as his world was starting to spin now as he looked upon the subject which has dominated not only this picture, but his life, as well.
Don fainted as he took the shot.
Herbert and Preston, fashion police, debated whether or not to tell the happy tourist about the major style error she has made, in Paris, of all places. Or just drag her downtown and throw her in the lockup. Imagine white after Labor Day!!!!
“Claudia Benson. First known person to ever be struck by lightning on a clear day.”
“Overhearing Dons sentiments Marion pulls a hand grenade…”
As the motorcade of the President of France drew closer, Mr. Zapruder took a still photograph of his wife to mark the occasion of their second honeymoon.
June 16th, 1968. The last shot of the Eiffel tower right before Grizelda Hammelton (pictured here) fired the pre-set explosives with her remote. France’s monument went up in flames. French secret police are currently looking for the now-elusive Grizelda.
40 years ago, Rose Trafton unwittingly became the inspiration for the rotating light beam which now adornes the top of the Eiffel tower.
Early French Military camouflage tests.
“No honey, for the 100th time– that’s the leaning tower of piza that you’re thinking of.”
“Well, then can you just tilt the camera so it’ll LOOK like it’s supposed to?”
“Fiiiiiine…”
Scientists are still puzzled at how the pictured woman took her photograph in 1839, a full half decade before the construction of the tower. According to know scientific theory, time travel is technically impossible, yet, so it this. Studies show links to witchcraft. Historians now believe that this is what medieval witches look like.
Everywhere they went that summer: pairs of Mormon missionaries in high-waisted black pants.
… even if you were the last woman on Earth.
Yes,yes… another step back, Darling….
ohhh..
I will never forget this day. First, morning filled will choices at the salon, then picking up the new camera. Now, after lunch at the top; my picture. Sigh. Life doesn’t’ get any better than this. If only there was someone to share it with. But there’s you! “Oh”“You’re so kind to stop and take my picture. Won’t you have tea with me? I’ve got six children, 14 grandchildren and sixty three cats. My next door neighbor shot herself last week, I just don’t know why. Bla, bla, yak, yak bla……”
Uncle Bob finally made it to France the way he had always dreamed since flying over it during WWII. One day he would have to get over his mother fixation, but now he just like ffeling frilly.
Bob and Frank, partners in the fashion enforcement police department for twenty years, argue about which of them will make the arrest.
An accidental inclusion in the “spy’s guide to blending in” is responsible for the deaths of scores of CIA agents.
On the plus side, Harold and Fern didn’t have to endure any unpleasant conversations with strangers…
Harold really did get an eyefull at the tower…
The two fellas in the back: “Ok, you get her feet, I’ll get her hair.”
“Levitation my a***. And unless this David Blaine trickster changes his image he’ll never be famous.”
