Caption contest: An angel walks into a bar...

So here's this week's cartoon. Your mission: Write a really clever caption for it.

Go ahead. Make us laugh.

You have to send me your entry/entries by e-mail to be considered for this week's contest, and I stop taking entries at 5 p.m. on Tuesday.

WEDNESDAY UPDATE: So we've got a winner, as selected last night by Charleston movie critic Bill Thompson. Check back on Friday for the outcome...

Here are the finalists:

"Don't worry. I can always get you a job in politics."

"Looks like our PR department is succeeding!"

"You might be able to avoid death, but that cigarette will cost you more after the state senate meets."

"Now that your employer is going to ban smoking and drinking in the workplace, how 'bout coming to work for me?"

"Don't feel bad, honey, I have days when I feel like praying."

"No.... I am NOT the devil, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night!"
