Just over a month ago we were told about a humorous website that gave new captions to some U.S. government signs. The threads are here:

Your challenge is to create your own funny caption to one of the signs. Whoever has the funniest sign is the winner. You may get help from the people who live in your own household.
The judgeing will be done by myself, my wife and the students in my dorm. One note. The dorm I run is for a Christian school, therefore any entries that include swearing or sexual references will be disqualified.
You have until the end of the day Thursday to post your picture and caption on this thread.

Any of the picturs off of that government page is fine.

I'm probably playing to the wrong audience, but if you the judges know anything about this board then,

If radiation has turned you into a faceless mutant with toxic B.O., please choke yourself until your quivering body is forever still.
=====================
This one doesn't count, but if the left half of the picture wasn't attached to this, I would have used this caption:

Yeah. I cannot think of a single funny caption. :(

Marmel: What about this?

If you predict that the Orangeman will never win a national championship in your lifetime, only to see them win one within the next 2 weeks, hide under your desk until the flaming subsides.

Heh. That is a great one. I guess I am not in a funny caption mood today. Maybe I will look at them again this evening.

After dining at your local Mexican eatery, it is recommended that you keep your head low and your butt high(and preferably near an open window) to limit the inhalation of deadly toxins for a period of 1-3 hours, depending on the amount of refried beans that you ate.

Flatulence could prove catastrophic if buried in rubble

I don't see anything in the instructions about only your first entry counting, so please use this as my final entry (since it may actually have meaning to someone who doesn't read this board).
In case of a WMD emergency, remember that stairs go up AND down.

I would also like this to be my official entry, if it doesn't have to be your first entry:

If you get trapped under rubble, do not try to fart your way to freedom.

==================
Surely I deserve some extra credit here for being the first to realize the following:
a) being judged by students in a dorm
b) can't swear
c) No sexual references
and realizing the only possible way to win was FART JOKES :D

If a radioactive sign is a-rockin', don't come a-knockin'.

I bet the ratings for FOFC Survivor have gone way down since I was voted off. They always do when the babe in the swimsuit gets booted. :)
Good luck guys. My vote goes to SP so far.

Sorry that it has taken so long to get back to you with the answers. It takes a while to get all of the dorm kids in to see things like this.
Well the favorite caption:
"If you predict that the Orangeman will never win a national championship in your lifetime, only to see them win one within the next 2 weeks, hide under your desk until the flaming subsides."
Unfortunatly, that was not Kodos's offical entry.

This post was supposed to come right after the last one, but the kids here all suddenly had "life threating" crisises ("she won't talk to me anymore") Sorry.
Anyway the final vote came down to an exact tie in the votes. (each of the 10 voters gave one vote for thier favorite, and one for thier second favorite. Most everyone picked one of the fart jokes to be thier favorite, but they split up the votes amoung themselves.
With 4 first place votes and 0 second place votes (8 points): "Flatulence could prove catastrophic if buried in rubble "[McSweeny]
With 0 first place votes and 8 second place votes (8 points):
"In case of a WMD emergency, remember that stairs go up AND down." [John Galt]
Now I am in a quandry, who should get immunity?

I guess that I will just go ahead and give immunity to both of you. John Galt and McSweeny will share the immunity necklace this week.
Kodos

Congrats to both of them! As is often the case, my throw-away joke is better received than my intended joke. :)
John Galt

What a bizarre vote split. My caption wasn't good enough to get a single first place vote and somehow I have immunity. Go figure.
