LOOSE LIPS T
hanks for joining the fun for our last Caption Contest(!) of 2023. The year has delivered some great humor, with readers diving in to offer their quips. We're often amused, never disappointed. The December photo inspired a variety of responses, some regarding submarines, others referring to bilges and ballast. Regardless of which angle you took, we loved what you did with your captions and we look forward to kicking off 2024 with a new set of fun photos. If you have or find any you think can make the cut, send them to us at editorial@latitude38.com; we're always on the lookout for entertainment. This month's winner and top 10 comments below.
