O Caption My Caption! Derek Jeter 12/12/10

December 12, 2010 by Rey 18 Comments

by Patrick ‘Rey’ Reynell

There is often nothing funnier than capturing a facial expression or occurrence at the right time, or, should we say, the most inopportune time.

I challenge you, loyal readers, to view the picture below and provide a captivating caption that will cause “the shores a-crowding” with “people all exulting.” Should you provide the wittiest of captions, for you the flag will be flung and the bugles will trill.

This week, we have New York Yankees captain Derek Jeter looking a little worried with the hug he’s about to receive from Jennifer Steinbrenner-Swindal after reaching an agreement on a new contract:

You’ve got the context, now make like the father of free verse and create the best caption you can in the comments below.

    To quote Clint Eastwood as Harry Callahan: “Your mouth wash ain’t makin’ it.”

    I’ve been waiting a long time for this (funny how this doubles as the caption and my sentiment about this post).

    “DEREK?! Who unchained you from the basement?!”

    Having not put on her make-up quite as thick this morning, Jennifer Steinbrenner fools Derek Jeter into thinking she is a crazed Red Sox fan out for blood.

    Uh, Mrs. Steinbrenner, it’s usually customary to shake hands, so if you wouldn’t mind letting go of Jeter junior, we can get on with this press conference.

    “Mrs. Steinbrenner – are you trying to seduce me? OK, OK, I’ll sign! I’ll sign the contract!”

    Derek Jeter reacting to Jennifer Steinbrenner-Swindal:” Is that a gun in your pocket, or are you just happy to sign me?”

    “Whoa! Your Match.com photo is way out-of-date.”

    Realizing that the media was on to her scheme, Jennifer Steinbrenner looks to whisk the Derek Jeter wax figuirine back to Madame Tussauds.

    Dan – You are too kind, sir.

    Do not seek the treasure. It’s bushwhacked.

    “Wait…wait…I have to do what for a contract extension??”
