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?
