“I can’t believe they’re stopping the love advice column.”
(by Diane Weisman)
My original caption: “I’m firing my bevy of lawyers and getting me a phalanx of lawyers!”
Congratulations, Diane Weisman, on your tenth victory. It looks like you’re being pretty consistent here — your last win was not too long ago, in Contest No. 209, and before that it was in Contest No. 204. Keep up the good work, and don’t forget to remind everybody that you are once again one of the funniest people around.
