UPDATE: In spite of Joel’s attempts at schmoozing (which usually does work) I have to go with Aaron as our winner! Aaron, send me your info off line and I will send you Nielsen’s commentary on Ruth! Look for a new competition later this week (but I cannot promise prizes. I only have so many duplicates in my library.)
The New Yorker does this on a regular basis (and this is a NY cartoon). I thought we could do it as well! So, what do you think would be an appropriate caption?
UPDATE: Fantastic results! This may have to turn into a regular feature, what do you say? I must clarify that contrary to reports, I am not offering a free iPhone. I do, however, have an extra copy of Kirsten Nielsen’s Ruth (Old Testament Library)
UPDATE 2: By the way, your suggests are much funnier than the actual caption: “Oh, thank you, Lord! Do I have to tell my partner?”
“Somewhat surprisingly the investment banker smiled as the deity inflicted a punitive 100% tax on his well-earned annual bonus.”
“Wow, it’s just like the Conservative Bible said it would be!”
Much to the dismay of theologians everywhere, God proves the Prosperity Preachers right.
“Okay, here you go. But this better not be some kind of ponzi scheme.”
Obama’s plan for balancing the budget
The mysterious relationship between the Federal Reserve and the Federal Government
That’s right. You give me that seed money, and You will bless Yourself one hundred fold.
“in the light over the overwhelming evidence for global warming, God concedes and purchases carbon credits from Al Gore.”
if i give you this sack of cash, will you pull me out of this angelic farting contest??
“Wow, how many talents is that?”
“Obama does answer prayer!”
Jeff
Yes, I swear, it’s ten percent.
Jim West had thought about giving up blogging, but just at that last moment, he suddenly found the incentive to go on.
i’ll take nielsen’s ruth! awesome prize!!!
(and anyway, my caption is way cooler than the others….)
cept maybe bobs and alans. they’re pretty funny.
I like Joel’s and Aaron’s, but I will concede that yours is funny Jim.
In Aaron’s, it’s funny no matter which voice is speaking.
I have to go with Chris, the all the wise…
Wait: no one suggested “Thank you, Mr President”?
