Caption Competition
Winning entries in the Caption Competition.
The competition is now closed.

5. clint75
These days bankers have to take precautions when collecting their bonuses.
4. HaveGavel

3. Formerlyfab
"And the "Welders of the Year" award goes to ...?"
2. Rogueslr
The Lone Ranger and Tonto could finally give up crime fighting and open that little restaurant they'd always dreamed of.
