Humbleness Anonymous. I like that. I would become a member but they say it’s a 12 step program and I know I could do it in less than 2 steps. Speaking of wives, mine says I could never become a comedian because I laugh at my own jokes. One day I will gain enough self control to just smirk at my wisecracks.

Yes– I know what you mean, Darin. I once tried to start a chapter
of Humbleness Anonymous — but I just could not find anyone
humble enough to be in my league. ( It’s bad enough my wife
put signs around our house that say ” No Smirking.” )

Yes Sam we definitely have some skills and if anybody doesn’t believe it they can just ask us. We are extremely humble too. The type of humility that comes from following my proven 3 steps to humility formula. First- recognize that you are humble. Second-let every body around you know just how truly humble you are. Third – start getting after other people for not being as humble as yourself.

Mr. Carpino has “found me out” : I was mainly angry because none
of MY submissions even made it into the “Also Ran” column.
BUT, to “Positize” my earlier comments, I DO agree that the three
winners deserved their places at the top. ( The “Golf” tie-in is another funny “Visual” that goes outside the “Box” of what is shown for to us to work with. ) But, as William Goldman famously said (about Film Making ), “Nobody Knows Anything.” . . .and that is especially true about me, S O L ( Supremely Officious Logjammer )

I think Donny Osmond went by the Acronym SOL (Soldier of Love).

this is what happens when we are inundated by the Instant Messaging (IM) realm…
I came to the end of Mr. Morrison’s comments and did not see his first name – I immediately saw S O L and starting thinking what does that stand for? [stemming from the over-used LOL or laughing out loud]

S*** Outta Laughs
Signing Off Lovingly
Sovereign Of Litigation
Super ‘Ornery Lamenter
Saving Our Laughs

You get my point, I was just
Sharing Out Loud.

John : Sorry to be kinda’ Negative –But Most of these captions
are just LITERAL Explanations, like a “Double Play-On-Words.”
They are logical, Possible Reasons for a person wearing Blinders — Not zany, FUNNY PICTURES in the Mind. ( Exception for me: The “slipped” ankle bracelet.) “Logical & Literal” is NOT Funny.

To ME, most of the entrants represented in this contest seemed
to “Wear BLINDERS” themselves. There HAS to be other SILLY “reasons” for the Blinders than what we all SEE in the cartoon!
( “Thinks he is a Horse?” — “In Fed. Protection Program?”– “Restless
Eye Syndrome?” — “Wedding Present from Mom-in-law?” — “He’s
in the Circus?” — ” New Fad for Biz Executives?” — “SHE wants a Pair also?” — “He’s from Other Planet / Culture?” — “She’ll wear a
Burkah outside home — IF He keeps blinders on?”– “He says,
‘Love is Blonde.” (yes, Pun) — “She doesn’t want him to be
‘Blonde-Sided’ at work?” ( pun ). Hmmm — Not easy.
Maybe Completely IGNORING the Blinders, somehow ?) –Sol
