Caption contest!

Posted in:

• Illinois

* Yes, I swore on my life that yesterday’s post was the last roast story ever. But this isn’t a roast story. It’s just a caption contest featuring a pic of Comptroller Judy Baar Topinka and Rep. Jack Franks at my roast…

Winner gets something. I haven’t decided yet what it is.

5. “No, Judy. It’s RICH Miller, not Roger Miller. He’s the King of the Dome, not the King of the Road.”

6. Judy is holding a paper describing Illinois’ budget problems. Jack is holding the solution…

    Comment by Bill Tuesday, Apr 10, 12 @ 10:26 am

15. JF; “don’t tell nobody but I AM a Republican”!
    JBT; “NO kidding?”

    Comment by railrat Tuesday, Apr 10, 12 @ 10:26 am

16. No I don’t have one Judy but I’m pretty sure you can’t smoke in here anyway.

    Comment by just sayin' Tuesday, Apr 10, 12 @ 10:26 am

17. I actually had a brain freeze and thought Jack Franks was a Republican, so my comment above makes little sense. In my defense, he often acts like a Republican, and it is still early so that may excuse my confusion.

    Comment by Skeeter Tuesday, Apr 10, 12 @ 10:29 am

18. Apollo Creed: Ain’t gonna be no rematch.

    Comment by A Naughty Moose Tuesday, Apr 10, 12 @ 10:33 am

20. JF - “Say that joke again …”

    JBT - “Jack, Carol Marin is over there …”

    Comment by Oswego Willy Tuesday, Apr 10, 12 @ 10:35 am

23. Really, Rich? You’re taking a nap already.

    Comment by Michelle Flaherty Tuesday, Apr 10, 12 @ 10:41 am

24. Can you believe what they charge for a drink here….

    Comment by OneMan Tuesday, Apr 10, 12 @ 10:49 am

25. How about winner gets Rich to come to their office to do their work while THEY take a nap.

    Comment by Apple Tuesday, Apr 10, 12 @ 10:56 am

29. Yes Judy that joke may kill most people because it is the funniest joke in the world that causes people to laugh themselves to death.

    There is a chance, a small chance, that if you tell it even though it will kill the rest of the people in this room, that Mike Madigan may in fact crack a small smile…

    JBT: Instagram? What the h*** is Instagram? Is that like a telegram? I can’t even get the State to invest in Coke or Pepsi.
