Leave a comment. Tell me your pick. Tell me why the ones I picked stink. Or, if you must, tell me how brilliant my choices are.

Hopefully, we didn’t offend the political correctness crowd this week. We received many clever, esoteric and enigmatic responses. Of course, there were the countless foreclosure, stimulus check, smoke signal and "reservation" captions (first come, first served), but there were also allusions to India, Iron Eyes Cody, the Lost Colony, Wounded Knee, Sacajawea, The Village People and a reference to Mickey Rooney as a gynecologist that I still haven’t figured out.
Speaking of that last caption, some of the ones that made me laugh the most were the more enigmatic ones.
Here are a few that struck me funny and I don't know why.
"It's from your gynecologist, Mickey Rooney."
Bob Beitzel, Pleasant Garden

"It's from my destitute brother, Got-No-Wampum"

BEST CULTURAL REFERENCE
(I broadened this category as it doesn't necessarily have to be obscure to work.)
But obscure would be appropriate in the case of these two brilliant entries:

Joel Tuggle, Archdale
