Caption Fun: Dan Gilbert Photo Tickles Wit and Whimsy from Readers

March 04, 2019, 9:17 PM

This Dan Gilbert oops moment is tailor-made for a playful round of Suggest a Caption, so we invited social media followers to do just that.

The amusing shot is from a 44-second promo video for "The Speed of the Game," an upcoming podcast series hosted by the Quicken empire founder -- who evidently likes showing he's just another guy bedeviled by eyewear slippage.

Here's what a half-dozen readers imagine he's thinking, doing or about to say as the camera catches an awkward instant:

  • “How dare he give Shinola all the credit for my work?” -- Branden Hunter, Detroit
  • "I don’t own what?” -- @PaulTheUrbanist on Twitter
  • "Lebron isn't going to make the playoffs for real for real?" -- Fredrick Mimms, Detroit
  • "My kingdom for the invention that keeps these glasses from falling off my nose." -- David Bauer, Auburn Hills
  • He's about to introduce his new company, Optigrab. -- David E. Gifford, Warren
  • "Man I wish I were as successful as Deadline Detroit." -- Matthew Kouri, Eastpointe
