Caption Competition
Winning entries in the Caption Competition.
The competition is now closed.
This week, as much of Britain basked in unseasonably warm weather, there were early sightings of topless men and ice cream. The sunglasses also came out, like in the Bolivian squirrel monkey enclosure at London Zoo. But what was being said?
Thanks to all who entered. The prize of a small amount of kudos to the following:
6. Fi-Glos
Hey lads, we're going to need bigger ears...
5. MightyGiddyUpGal
Does my (opposable) thumb look big in this?
4. SkarloeyLine
Look what the cobra brought me back from Macy's.
3. CJC
If health and safety expect me to wear these they've got another thing coming.
2. gmcoates
Barbie's hair removal cream just wasn't working
1. Mr Snoozy
Ok - he was obviously here earlier, has anyone seen the rest of Elton John?
