Caption Monkey 50: Overcrowded Train

By Alex in Auto & Transportation, Caption Monkey on Nov 4, 2008 at 12:35 pm

W00t! It’s time for this week’s Neatorama and Hobotopia’s Caption Monkey game! But first, the story: believe it or not that’s a train covered with people (all men, it looks like) returning from a three-day Sunni Muslim festival in the ancient city of Multan, or the City of Saints in Pakistan. Organizers of the event claim that it’s the second largest gathering of Muslims after the Hajj in Mecca, Saudi Arabia (Source)

Now, on to the game: the funniest caption will win a free original Laugh-Out-Loud Cat cartoon by Adam Koford. To win, simply place your caption in the comment section below. One caption per comment please – you can enter as many times as you’d like.

For inspiration, check out Adam’s blog (don’t forget to pre-order the Laugh-Out-Loud Cats Sell Out book). Good luck!

Update 11/5/08 – Adam Koford has picked the winner! Congratulations to Patrick Scott who won with this caption: “Pakistan’s last surviving hobo finding it difficult to adapt.”
