Hello?
From the Page 2 mailbag
We called up O.J. Simpson for last week's Mystery Photo, and he called in some legal assistance to help us out.
We figured you'd have plenty of ideas about what was going on here, so Page 2 asked you to come up with some clever captions. You filled our mailbag with more than 1,800 responses.
Here's a look at some of the best caption suggestions from your readers.
