Octopussy, of a kind

opussy3.jpg
Here's the other dream I had last night, which merits a separate entry.

The PW editorial staff was directed to go to "floor E" for a caption-writing contest. We each got a photo and had to write a caption in five minutes or less. The caption had to begin with a pun, and be followed up with content related to the pun.

My photo was from last week's PW. It was of octopus served at the restaurant Ansill.

My caption read: "Octopussy bond: Ansill serves stick-to-your-ribs seafood."

I thought that was so clever, marrying a James Bond reference to the seafood dish. But no one in the room had seen the movie, nor heard of it. I was chagrined, and even more so when I realized I was wearing my pajamas.
