Winner of Eli’s Cartoon Caption Contest No. 218

“He’s one of those tech CEOs. “

(by Anya)

 

My original caption: “What’s the rate of exchange on pieces of eight?”

 

Congratulations, Anya, on your second victory. Once again, you can shout it to the world — you are definitely one of the funniest people around!

Here are the other captions that I was seriously considering for top honors:

“My first trick or treat.” (by Diane Weisman)

“He doesn’t want a free toaster. He wants a ham sandwich.” (by Michael Lomazow)

“I want to do what he does.” (also by Diane Weisman)

“Did you hang the ‘NO Shirt — NO Shoes — NO Service’ sign on the door?” (by Scott Malcolm)

“Hey, do we take doubloons?” (by Joe Ayella)

“Do we take wooden nickels?” (by Kelasher)

“What is a doubloon worth today?” (by Pat Foley)

“Rob Crusoe . . . why does that name sound familiar?” (by Lee Lacewell)

“It’s from an offshore account. ” (by Mark S.)

 

Also, a couple of side notes:

1) Congrats to Joe Ayella, who I noticed was a prize-winning runner-up this week in Bob Mankoff’s “Cartoon Stock” Caption Contest (it wasn’t Joe Ayella’s first triumph over there — he’s been a pretty consistent winner or runner-up).  Way to go!

2) Lee Lacewell, I was intrigued by your spelling of Dabloon in a couple of your captions. I had to look it up and found that Dabloon is a somewhat imaginary crypto-currency that received a lot of attention on TikTok. I still don’t know if you meant to spell it that way, but thanks for educating me on “Dabloons”.

 

Contest No. 219 will show up soon enough, as usual. Keep on the lookout for it, Captioneers, and thanks for participating.
