Winner of Eli’s Cartoon Caption Contest No. 50

                   “It’s a great place to store buoys and pool floats!”

                                               (by Melissa)

 

My original caption: “Just as we said in our ad — it’s a lovely home, overlooking the water.”

Nice work, Melissa. This is your fourth win, so you can shout it from the rooftops: you’re definitely one of the funniest people around! Congratulations.

Other entries I was considering for top honors:

“You did request a lake-front property. How much closer could you get?” (by Jonathan Stein)

“Maybe you would prefer to come back and inspect the house at low tide?” (by Cary Antebi)

And of course I greatly appreciated Dale Stout’s caption: “I told you the owners were underwater.” Very timely and appropriate!

Contest No. 51 will be coming up before you know it.
