"Can you make this quick? I’ve been stuck in my boss’ office all day and I need to find a fire hydrant!"
"I should have just taken the Greyhound."
"You chase cars your way, I'll chase them mine."

Best group of winning entries in a long time. The winner was deserving but the others were very good too.

At first, I thought this was a strange cartoon and would have limited humor possibility. It ended up being a laugh riot. The last two cartoons have been ripe with possibility and all the captions have been funny and pointed.

They were good. Here's my entrance...
Well officer, I was walking past a Chinese restaurant...

Great captions this week. The winner was spot on! I couldn't even make it to the "better lines", guess I was barking up the wrong tree with my feeble attempts. Oh well, there's always next week.
