Here is my entry in this weeks New Yorker Caption Contest. Each week they provide the image and you provide the caption.

"Welcome to Mutiny of Omaha."





Here are the leftovers...

Arrr...you sure you don't want to open a savings account?

Polly wants to see two forms of ID.

I suggest you put half of the money in checking and the other half in an extravagantly bejewelled chest buried on a desert island?

Dan's Journal Entry

Arrrr, You Hiring?

Today I saw the guy that sells papers by the BART entrance wearing a George Washington costume and funny white wig to draw attention to himself and his papers. Then behind him I saw another guy dressed like a silly pirate also holding up a paper.

But then I realized that guy wasn't wearing a costume, he was just a homeless man with an eye patch and a paper that said, " Lost 31 year job as a paper vendor - no benefits - Please help - thank you".

It was less funny.
