Thank you for all your entries. As usual, feel free to discuss any of this in our "Comments" section. Just click the blue link below this post and add your observations, criticisms or additional captions!
Here's a selection of some of the other better lines we received this week:
"My Mom says you can cloud up issues. So why don't you make it rain?"
"Will the transit tax pay for Thomas the Tank Engine too?"
"Someone has to be the adult here!"
"I'd like to propose that we outlaw sagging pants UNLESS the person is wearing an American Flag lapel pin on his boxers."
“Wow, this is awful sitting through this. I’ll NEVER act up in class again!”
"My first agenda item....a new dress code for City Council!"
"Mom! When I said I wanted a board, I meant a skate board."
“Therefore I move that when the Tooth Fairy brings me my quarter we ask her for additional light rail funding.”
"Do YOU guys wanna play dragstrip with me?"
"Since we're paying all this taxpayer money, can I have a pony?"
“Scientifically speaking, the ability to solve problems ends on your 29th birthday.”
"Let's extend the light rail to Disneyland!"
Why is the winning one so dumb? I find the irony in Tariq Bokhari entry making the top five. But shouldn't his read. "Look Kevin Siers is endorsing my campaign."

Please tell me if there's some hidden meaning in the winning caption. I'm sure it's very funny but I just don't get it. Guess I'm a dumb person too.

It's a play on that Bruce Willis movie, "The Sixth Sense." You know, it's the one about the little kid who creepily says, "I see dead people." It's a great flick.

Kenneth Irving has a point. No doubt, many people will be scratching their heads Monday morning. Having seen the movie, I can appreciate the cleverness and originality of the winner. I second Kevin's endorsement...of the movie !!!

I suppose I'm going to have to get out and see more movies. Thanks for the explanation. As always, I'm looking foward to next weeks cartoon. Guess I'm an eternal optimist.
