Monday, June 20, 2022Photo Caption Contest Winners It was no surprise that the dramatic height difference between the political pair received much attention from readers competing for one of two free lunches. Reader Mary Darling came with this: Joe to MLG: "I mean no disrespect but, it's kind of hard not to talk down to you!" An anonymous reader wrote: Joe to MLG: "Would you like a booster seat?" Reader James Bostrom had this caption: "Michelle, when they ask me Red or Green, what should I say??" MLG's Covid jewelry adventure drew this caption from an anonymous reader: Joe: "Do you think I can get the same discount as you at Lilly Barrack?" And, of course, Crotchgate had to make an appearance: "So you're saying you grabbed his crotch...and he didn't like it?" Reader Santana Salazar had this: POTUS: “Can you see? I was this close to bringing a booster seat.” MLG: “Are you tired? I was that close to bringing you a neck pillow.” Larry Anderson wrote: Joe: "I'm trying not to be recognized by wearing these sunglasses. I'm just not as good at it as you are." Michelle: "Nonsense, Joe. Just leave the shades on and get lower in the seat like me." Patrick Stewart captioned the photo this way: POTUS to the Secret Service: "Can we get a booster seat, she can't see the smoke from the fires from back here!" Cheryl Haaker wrote: Joe: "So, where can we get some of this 'bowl of green' diplomacy that Bill Richardson always talks about?" Reader Rodger Beimer came with this: Joe: “I’m a car guy. If they’d just let me drive, we’d be in Santa Fe in 30 minutes!” David Hadwiger had this caption: Joe: "I don't understand, Governor. You want to add a question on the next Census for New Mexico, "Green or Red?" This reader joked about MLG's efforts to get a job with the Biden administration: Joe: "What job was it that you wanted?" MLG: Ever had posole and red chile at Thanksgiving or seen the Santa Fe Plaza decked out for Christmas? Come back around then and we can talk. We thought Santana Salazar's sarcasm was on the mark and he wins a free lunch at Barelas Coffee House. And in a nod to the many height jokes, the second lunch goes to witty reader Patrick Stewart.
