Contest No. 60 starts right now.
Briefly, here are the details: I’ll supply a drawing of one of my old
There is no limit on the number of captions you can enter for each drawing. Entries will be accepted and posted for one week, after which a winner will be announced and the winning caption will be printed. Below that I will also print my original caption.
The cut-off time and date for you to send in your captions for this contest is midnight Tuesday, December 17, 2013.
I will be the sole judge. The winning caption will be the one I judge to be the funniest one submitted (not necessarily the one that matches or comes closest to my original caption). Additional rules and regulations, for those of you who need such things, can be found here.
Below is the drawing that needs your caption. Yes, it’s another very old one of mine. How old? All I know is that my rubber stamp on the back shows the address of the second tenement in Brooklyn where I lived with my mother, father and brother. Not the first tenement — we had to leave that one because my parents couldn’t come up with the rent. Anyway, it’s pretty old.
