“Good thing his t-shirt doesn’t say ‘Save the Shrimps!”
(by Joe Ayella)
My original caption: “For you, Lori — it’s the one who collects whales!”
Congratulations on this, your third victory, Joe Ayella! As a long-time shrimp lover I greatly appreciated the sentiment expressed in your caption (shrimp is my favorite meal at my local Thai restaurant). So once again you have earned the bragging rights — you are indeed one of the funniest people around.
These are the other captions that were seriously in competition:
“Honey, he is here to pick up the whale in our pool!” (by Jasmine Valentino)
“Honey, on second thought, cancel the fish fry!” ( by Rich Wolf)
“Susie, your new boyfriend is here and I’m going to call this one Ishmael!” (by Marc Eliot Stein)
“Relax, he only wants his Save The Earth T-shirt.” (by Pat Foley)
“You better sit down Sweetie. The young man at the door wants to save the whales by putting them in an aquarium.” (by Silvana Lagrotteria)
“Marge . . . don’t you think adopting a whale is something we should have discussed first?” (by Lee Lacewell)

Eli, thanks so much! Btw, do you say ‘shrimp’ without an ‘s’ or ‘shrimps’ for the plural? I usually don’t use the ‘s’ at the end but did so here to match ‘whales’. My brother-in-law uses an ‘s’ at the end.
Thanks for your participation! ChatGPT says that both “shrimp” and “shrimps” are good common usage for the plural, with a slight edge going to leaving off the “s” at the end.
Thank you, Eli. And I hope you enjoy a nice Thai Shrimp dish this weekend – it sounds delish 🙂
