Week 46 winner!

Week 46 Caption Contest results! Quite a lot of 'haunting' humor this week! First, the Honorable Mentions: Brandon Randall, with the short but sweet: "That's a hat!"; two from Darren Grabowski: "...and I'm the ghost of Christmas Gas. Pull my finger." and "Have you been dragged out of bed in the middle of the night by a dead business partner? Harassed by ghosts for past mistakes? Call the law firm of Wombat and Wombat. We're ready to 'believe' you!"; G Scott Lewis (warning: barbershop insider humor): "The Scrooge Quartet nails the tag, but the KIBBER judge on the left was not impressed with the female bass."; and Wayne Franklin: "It was the Ghost of 'Time is an Arbitrary Construct Created by Man to Measure his Mortality' that truly frightened Ebenezer."
                                                                                  
And the top caption this week comes from SGT's resident dragon Lasolimu, his second Caption Contest win! Congratulations, Lasolimu!
