Caption Contest
Tell us what your caption for this cartoon would be, in the comments below.
If you know what the original caption was, don’t tell us. The idea is to be creative, not to be a smarty pants.
The prize– well, there is no prize, but you’ll have bragging rights. :)
Winner will be chosen by D&S bloggers by Friday evening. D&S bloggers can submit captions , but they can’t win.
I’ll add the original with the caption next Friday.

This cartoon, as always, is posted with the kind permission of The Sunstone Foundation, the publisher, and Calvin Grondahl.
Edited to add the original version of the cartoon:
I remember how SHOCKING this cartoon was when it came out. Because of this cartoon Deseret Books quit carrying any of Grondahl’s books.
“The good news is you are going to a good LDS family. The bad news is that you will be born gay”.
Ouch, Bob. :(
Or is it “The good news is you are going to be born gay. The bad news is that you are going to a good LDS family”? :D
“The good news is that you’ll be born in the covenant. The bad news is that you’ll be the one who invents some crazy doctrinal fallacies about fence-sitters in heaven.”
Because of the work you’ve done up until this point, you’ve been fore-ordained to share your knowledge of gays, feminists and intellectuals in teaching Pres. Packer’s Gospel Doctrine class. One of the spirits here today is your assigned helpmeet in your earthly mission.
If I didn’t know Bob, I’d have thought he cheated because he was so close to Grondahl’s original caption, so quickly. I liked Laura’s twist on it too. I’ve added the original above.
Now that I’ve seen the caption I think I have seen this cartoon before, so I was cheating but not intentionally.
Gee Bob! Mess up the whole contest? :) It’s ok. We didn’t get around to our vote as we should have, but I’m planning on another caption contest soon.
