There were many great captions posted for March's cartoon, and it was a challenging one; was that a bomb, a turnip, a guy holding his breath too long..? Here are the Honorable Mensches:
“Didn't I tell you not to wear that belt?”

”Wait a minute, you're the fifth guy to search her...isn't anybody going to search me?”
Anonymous said...
“Another typical day at Hunter S. Thompson International Airport.”
(I don't know what this means, I just thought it was funny.)
And, for best short essay:
“All fruits or vegetables must be declared orally or in writing on the agriculture declaration form to the Customs & Quarantine Officer, but Mrs. Turniphead failed to declare her husband, a fashion consultant, who took offense at the poor posture of the attending officer. It may be illegal to smuggle vegetables across the border disguised as one's husband, but there is never an excuse for stooping.” - Elizabeth Cherry
Good job everybody!

That man is an alien! Grab that stick before he turns everyone into turnips!
Hey! How the heck did you get this job without a mouth!
Officer, wouldn't it be faster to run my "Realdoll" through the x-ray machine?!
I told you not to bring those stupid tweezers! This had better not make us miss dinner with Ted Kennedy!
Look, I've been on paid vacation for years, I get harassed by you jerks, and they've probably already begun boarding the plane for Iraq. I tell you, I can't wait to get home... can't be any worse than this airport...
“Stop! You are completely out of line.” Robert Ayash.

3. Another typical day at Hunter S. Thompson International Airport.
4. Being chief of airport security was starting to take its toll on Bob McGiantredblob. It was just *impossible* to get new recruits to pay attention in Wanding Class.

1) Officer! Watch out she's a man!
2) To pass security without trouble, the terrorist called attention to another set of bombs.
Hey! Is this how you get your cheap thrills, Buddy? Harrassing law abiding citizens?
No! The Kaiser wasn't the last one to paint bombs red.
As a matter of fact, I *am* from a red state, blue boy.
Hey! I heard that!
Bob! Stop pretending to be a TSA inspector!
Sinner! Repent!!
Hey! I heard that. What do you mean, "He probably has a 'short fuse'"?
That's it. You're busted. You have only searched women for the last week!

Damn! The compo is closed?
My suggestion is "Pull my Finger"
I know the contest is closed, but I just discovered your site today (4/8) and have a caption to add: "Make sure you check up top too. You never know what kind of dangerous, pointy objects people might be carrying."
Of course I'm a nuke in a track suit! What do you think I was? A fat guy with no sholders who fell in paint!?!
-I refuse to be party to this foul goal.
-Hah! I told you he'd notice, Dave!
-You should've dressed a little more suspicious dear. I told you Canadians are backwards.
