The similarity between potty training Plucky Duck and the economy
(Photo from CNN.com front page)
This photo was on CNN's front page today (at around 1:18 PM my time). It's not the first time that I've noticed these kind of shots. Desperate, worried, panicked, freaked-out, sky-is-falling, end-o-the-world, scared looking, trader-types and Wall Street operators. The above photo of this guy is no different, in fact, it's a classic.
Therefore, in tribute to young Plucky Duck and his potty training efforts (and in search of a laugh or two amidst all this doom and gloom), here are some less than suitable captions for the above photo that I doubt CNN would ever consider using:
1. Money go down the hole!
2. Stock market go down the hole!
3. Economy go down the hole!
4. Suggest a caption (in the spirit of young Plucky), leave a comment!
