Weekend Caption Competition #12
BELCO CEO Garry Madeiros may have appeared in one of these caption competitions before, but following last week's blackout, I thought it only fitting that he should feature for a second time.
This time he's brought along executive vice president Vincent Ingham to keep him company.
Enter your best caption for the picture below. Photoshop entries are also welcomed and should be emailed to me.
Winners will be announced on Sunday.

Imagine our surprise when the caller actually reveled himself as Thaao Dill and not the fire chief. I guess we should have verified who it was before we actually turned off the fire suppression system. Good one Thaao, you got us. J Galt

Gary - “I think the important thing is this report, that analysis, that investigation that’s what that investigation will raise. And that’s the whole aspect of it, to get it from someone who is independent to complete the review of what was in place, what wasn’t in place, what happened, and so we know factually, exactly what took place, how it took place and some causes and then we will remark from there.”
Vincent (Thought Bubble in a Homer Simpson voice) - "Mmmmmmmm Waffles"
