<p>I also love giving stuff away.   I sell a program called <a  href="http://www.bradmontgomery.com/store/hooked-on-humor/">Hooked on Humor</a>, which is a one-year subscription to an audio series about how to use humor as a tool at work and at home.</p>
<p>But heck&#8230; in the spirit of merry and ho, I thought it would be fun to just give some away.</p>
<p>Enjoy it.  <strong>What do I want as a gift from you?</strong> Leave a comment, and tell me what you think!    Cheers!</p>
<p>Buy the whole series of audios <a  href="http://www.myonlineshoppingcart.com/SecureCart/SecureCart.aspx?mid=17E31061-0029-41F3-A8A3-13FD001EF7C0&#038;pid=a67c7df9495e093e382f411b2c3f9fd8&#038;bn=1">here</a>.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you write the funniest caption for this photo, you can win a free copy of my book:<a  href="http://www.bradlaughs.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/monkeybananas1.jpg"><img src="http://www.bradlaughs.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/monkeybananas1.jpg" alt="" title="monkey sitting on and eating bananas" class="alignright size-full wp-image-559" /></a><br />
<strong>Humor Us: America&#8217;s Funniest Humorists On the Power of Laughter</strong></p>
<p>Leave your submission below in the comment field, and if you&#8217;re one of the top two chosen submissions, we&#8217;ll send you a book.  (<a  href="http://www.humorme.biz">Humor Me:  America&#8217;s Funniest Humorists On the Power of Laughter</a>.)   (You&#8217;ll get the electronic version of the book.)</p>
<p>Here are some caption ideas submitted by other readers to help get your creative juices going. Have fun!</p>
<blockquote><p>- &#8211; All we need are 132 gallons of ice cream, a bucket of chocolate, and 1339 cherries and it&#8217;s Banana Splits for the whole neighborhood!</p>
<p>- &#8211; What I&#8217;d give for a steak!</p>
<p>- &#8211; Potassium?  Not a problem.</p>
<p>- &#8211; Whadda YOU looking at?</p></blockquote>
<p><em><strong>Submit your captions below as a comment.</strong></em></p>
<p><strong>Why is this caption writing relevant to you?</strong>  Caption writing is a great exercise to loosen up your creativity skills.  I&#8217;ve done this at the beginning of meetings with a few different photos and the result is a fun, relaxing, team-building exercise.  Remember the rules:  <em>there is no such thing as a bad caption or idea.</em>  Write them all down, and celebrate the VOLUME of captions more than the QUALITY.</p>
<p>Need to kick start a meeting?   Try this exercise and see the energy and creativity get a boost even before you start.</p>
