Wow. And honestly I think it only doesn’t work on maybe three of those.

Hmm…I pretty much agree with that. Funny.

However…that last one…I am gonna SUE somebody. I was NOT nekkid on that flight!!! :mad:

i spend some time thinking about these captions every month. thanks for saving me some time, fella.

Oddly enough, that’s also the skeleton key to the ill-humor of New Yorkers. :wink:

Should I be embarrassed to admit that the monster truck one literally made me laugh out loud?

Yeah. Thought so.

No - I did too…

mm

Off to Cafe Society.

(He moved it? Christ, what an asshole.) :wink:

Hey, it works on other captions too. Christ, what an asshole.

I prefer the caption “Don’t ask.”

or

“Okay, now I know what you must be thinking.”
