“I was kinda partial to the blue and green striped baby carrier at Sears Parkway, but the sales tax in El Cajon is outrageous — and the price on this little number at the Penasquitos WalMart couldn’t be beat.”
With the future debt the local, state and federal governments are building up, should I even bother going to school and trying to find a job? Most of my paycheck will end up being taxed to repay all this borrowing.
“My mom and dad voted for Democrats and all I got was this stinkin’ t-shirt.”
Or
“If you liked Brown’s budget proposal….you’ll love what’s in my diaper!”
Michael, you’re definitely the front-runner! I’m surprised we don’t have any State of the Union captions yet…
“I gotta get a city job. . . assuming there still ARE cities when I grow up.”
OR
“Mom, how come YOU can’t get a city job?”
“How soon can we move to Texas?”
“Just who are these ‘Baby Boomers’ I’ll be paying for
the rest of my Life?”
Raise them all yo want – I pay in poopoo just like daddy!
“You’re from the government and you’re here to do what?”
Mommy says we have to shop in Santee, because the sales tax is the lowest in the East County, but boy this traffic is the worst.
“I am wearing this shirt because all the ‘Dumanis for Mayor’ shirts were bought up by some guy named Barry.”
“OH Crap”
1) “I should have stayed in the womb.”
2) “If your looking for the proposed city budget its in the back of my diaper.”
3) “I have something in common with city employee unions, we both suckle the teet.”
4) “That smell isn’t me, its city hall.”
With a baby due in June, my wife and I are looking forward to the little guy wearing something along these lines. I was personally on the hunt for something that says, “Social Security stinks more than me!” but any of these will do.
“Not only did the government steal my candy, my foreskin is gone too!”
“I’m ready to buy my service credit now!”

What? I have to go to pre, pre, preschool?
How’s this for a caption:
Aborted my friends? Just wait until you are old and useless!
“They think I’ll be productive”
“I’ll out grow the shirt…But not the taxes”
Why did Bristol Palin put this green condom on my hand?!
They all give me a rash: CALpers, SDpers, and my diapers!
or
I can count on my mommy and the IRS for two things: One will take my soiled diapers and -no matter how cool it is- the other will always take my shirt off my back…
or
I’m a prime example of how birth control pills are tax deductible. . . .but only if they don’t work.
Thanks for referring folks to my blog article, Thor’s Assistant. I was wondering how Mr. Rider knew enough about it to comment on it!
Contestants, thanks for your patience. The judges have made their decision, and we will announce it first thing MONDAY!
