LAUGH LINES : Two Pictures Worth 1,000 Punch Lines

So you think it’s easy to write picture captions?

Laugh Lines’ second reader-participation contest is writing captions for either or both of these two pictures.

Picture No. 1 is Los Angeles Mayor Richard Riordan, caught by cameras after a tennis tournament. No. 2 is Yasser Arafat talking to other dignitaries at the recent signing of a Middle East peace accord.

Below each picture is our sample of the kind of captions we are looking for in your entries.

So, put on your thinking caps and come up with something clever or creative. (We are not looking for a Top 10 list here, folks; just one or two funny gag lines for either or both photos.)

The top five captions for each picture will win a Laugh Lines Humor Master T-Shirt. The first-place winner for each picture--as judged by the sometimes maligned LL Supreme Court--will also receive an additional special prize.

Have some fun, and please make sure that we receive your entries by mail or fax no later than 9 a.m. Friday, May 20, 1994.
