Caption the Photo Contest
And the envelope please...
Our second Caption the Photo contest is complete, and we have selected our winners!
We judged your entries based on several factors: humor value, appropriateness,
and uniqueness.Many entries were ruled out because they were either repeated by
other users, or because they really didn't take into account what was going on in
the photo. With that explanation out of the way, it's time to crown our winner.
It's cmorford, who wins an autographed copy of You Have More Than You Think and
a jester's cap. Here's the caption:
"Fool arrested on Wall St. today for 'pedaling' sound investment advice."
Cmorford's caption incorporated the police, the jester, a clever pun, and the principles
of Foolish Investing all into one sentence. Congrats!
We also selected 2 runners-up, each of whom will receive a jester's cap.
jclinard:
"Calling All Cops! Be on the lookout for a fool riding the market cycle"

"What's the penalty for driving under the influence of foolery?"
