February Caption Competition

Yeah............. cos' "Nuts!" was hilarious ;-)
Thanks - too kind.....of course these things do require a bit of subtlety, as opposed to just describing the picture. That is what my 11 year old would do. :smug:

 

It is a bit better now it doesn't say "Chapters" although I at first thought this was some obscure reference that only the brightest sparks would pick up on :)

Yeah, cos' thats what I did din't I :) You know its not really a human shaped boot, right?

 

No no no - you have to write a caption that implies that the player in blue is a human shaped boot without actually saying it. Implying it makes the reader think for a while, then burst out in hysterical laughter when they realise what you are implying. If you just come out and say it then there is no humour.....unless you are under 12. I must send you my "How to write jokes" book.

Oooohhh.. I seeee. But with your caption, I saw it, thought about it for a while, and then thought "Thats' sh!t" ;-)

 

I saved you the thinking time of coming to the same conclusion :)

Ahhh, but the only reason that you thought "Thats' sh!t" is because you haven't actually got the joke. If you had got it, then you would be in stitches. My hilarious caption is really aimed at the more intelligent posters on here - those that don't find it funny are just a bit thick. :smug:

Keep convincing yourself of that. I'll rest in the knowledge that it's equally, if not more, sh!t than mine :) ;)

 

Anyway, let's get back to competition... (Feel free to have another go. You may do better second time around)

Is that it then? :( This banter was more entertaining to me than any of the captions. Let us analyse the "you get much higher doing the Fosbry Flop" suggestion. That actually might be hilarious, but I have to admit that even I am not intelligent enough to understand the subtleties behind it. I am thinking that there is some clever meaning to the misspelling of "Fosbury". Any ideas?

You don't get that???? God you're so thick..... ;-)

 

No idea, lost on me....

OK - here goes:

"Chaplow buries one in the bottom (corner)"

 

Well? No? Too obvious? Should I remove the word "corner" perhaps?

 

It raised the corners of my mouth slightly so in that sense its a 100% improvement. Well done.

 

Yeah, remove corner.. The other posters will know you "implied" corner.... cos thats how jokes work you know...

Yes I know that (obviously - it is my joke rule book after all)....clearly I am trying to cater for the less bright :rolleyes:

 

OK - "Chaplow buries one in the bottom" it is then. I will leave the other post unedited so that people can refer back to it if they don't get it.
