WSO Caption Contest - Nov 6th... Collect Silver Bananas and Win a Free Wall Street Oasis T-Shirt

Mod Note (Andy): And the winner is... @DBCooper, again! but since in our fine print you can't win a tshirt twice, we've picked two other captions we liked:

"Bob..what's your wife going to say when she sees that you used hardwood flooring for a fence and filled your pool with lemon four loko? By the way how do you like my new shirt?"
by @llewis813

and

The board wants to know why we are making a physical market in lemonade. What should I tell them?"
by @petetong

See you next Wednesday 8pm for the next caption contest!

We have a fun new contest each week to let our funniest members win a free WSO T shirt with their witty inner genius. All you have to do is leave a comment in this post with a caption you think is most fitting for the cartoon posted below. The winner will be determined by the community based on the number of Silver Bananas awarded to each comment. In the event of a tie, the admins of the site will decide the winner or send out multiple free shirts if we can't decide. Wall Street jokes welcomed and encouraged

Guy in pink (explaining liquid gold in the pool to the guy in black): No, your price didn't have to stoop so low, have your friends beat your numbers like they were nothing. I guess that I don't need that, though; now you're just the gold shares that I used to own...
