Caption Competition
Here are some (well, actually all) of the entries I've received for last month's
caption competition. I had hoped we'd get a few more, there's obviously a lack of
inspiration or sense of humour (or both) out there - and I thought you'd all be
gagging for a free subscription. Anyway, here they are.
Lad with hands in pockets: "I think I've just realised what I want to be when I grow up"
His Pal: "Can you get an apprenticeship?"
"Corl Having seen what the butler saw, I wonder ifhe felt what I'm feeling now."
"You didn't tell me your mum works at the castle. It must be a hot job, she doesn't wear
any clothes."
"All I can say is the butler was very easily pleased ..... And that contraption doesn't look
much like a mutoscope either!"
"So that's what sis. does at brass rubbing classes."
"OK, so I don't want to be an engine driver no more!"
"Blimey! Why can't she buy her cherry cakes from the baker like everyone else?"
"Cor, you didn't tell me your big sister did that!"
"I just thought I would have a look to keep abreast of things."
"That reminds me. We've got jelly for tea."
To be honest, I've added a couple of my own just to make the numbers up. I asked a
friend to do the judging, and thanks to sod's law he chose one of mine (the forth from
the top. As I can't really award myself a free subscription, I've decided it should go to
Johnny Burley, who has shown enormous support for the magazine over the last year.
Many thanks Johnny- enjoy a few beers on me!
