Readers of ABA Editor's Report the last two weeks had the opportunity to provide a caption for the candid snap above, spotted in suburban New York. Entrants participated in a random drawing for a $50 Amazon card, which will be awarded to Nelson Knowles, Prosperity Bank, St. Augustine, Fla.
 
Your reward is some very funny captions, and few groaners.
