BALANCING ACTS

Time to reveal the results of the recent CAPTION COMPETITION which yielded a high turn out of quality captions making this a particularly difficult challenge for the judge, Polkadots & Moonbeams who, as usual, evaluated the entries without knowing the names of the entrants.

There were some recurrent themes such as sneezing and (not surprisingly) underwear, but there was great variety in the humour: surrealism, silliness, sexual innuendo and honest-to-goodness smuttiness!

So, here's a reminder of the image you were asked to caption...

And here are the RESULTS beginning with a very worthy set of (alphabetically ordered)...

Other two: "Mmm..."

Suzanne

"If this doesn't cure my back ache, nothing will!"

Horizontal guy: "Hey, great view from here, but I still can't see where your block is!"

"OK, so we've got the lift, all we need now is the music! Cop this one, Len Goodman!"

EDITOR'S CHOICE

Good Dog

Dermot had heard 5th Avenue’s new chiropractors were unconventional but this was just taking the piss.

Boll Weavil

HIGHLY COMMENDED

Good Dog

David Weeks
