| Marco's Cartoon Caption Competition |
Long time ago

WINNER: "I guess this is one way of sharing a 'bottom' ". (Grace)
Some other entries:
- Oh No! Not another bottom!
- Do you think her partner's driven her up the pole?
- Yipee - top at last!
- I see Pat's made a swift recovery. (after her spine surgery - ed.)
- Shouldn't that be alerted?
- Watch out for splinters.
- I think she'd play in the greens if she had more confidence.
- Well, they do say it's more relaxed in the red section.
- I see the strike is over then.
- We must stop firefighters from practising here while they are on strike.
- Is this how you teach strip squeezes, Derek?
