You may have seen contests where the challenge is to provide the most clever caption to an image. You can find them all over Google .

Well, here is a twist: your challenge is to deconstruct an image and the caption in a creative way. There are no rules, as order stifles originality. Just make sure the image and caption are together.

During the monthly briefing with the Verizon Wireless client, Winston zoned out. He had a boring graph on his laptop, but his part was at the end. Right now, Maria was explaining to the client that their current “Join in” campaign was losing steam and Acme Ad Agency had a few proposals.

As she droned on and on, Winston was tempted to visit his favorite poker site. Instead, he opened his webmail and sent this picture to Jonah, seated beside Maria.

Of course, Jonah lost it. As a big fan of LOLcats, Jonah always enjoyed an appropriate image. However, not wanting to seem ignorant, he quickly smothered his giggles in the crook of his elbow, pretending to sneeze.

Maria, glaring furiously at Jonah, fairly hissed, “Perhaps Jonah would like to share his views on the campaign proposals?”
Jonah thought quickly. He hit the favorites link on his browser, did a quick search and turned his laptop around:

“I was just thinking about how we can have a cool cat walking around town, holding a cell phone and saying, ‘Can you hear me now? Good!’ ”

The client was delighted.
