Caption contest smokes out punsters

Contest_winner_121007_2
Bruce Cole of Wichita became the Intergalactic Cartoon Caption Writing Champion with his winning take on this week’s contest. We don’t keep records of such things, but surely Bruce has won ten or twelve of these contests by now. Here are a few other entries that deserve more than a lump of coal (Cole?) in their stockings as well. From Wichita’s Amy Godsey came, "You really should get a flue shot." Bill Papineau, also of Wichita, came up with, "Santa, maybe it’s time we get our BUTTS outa here!" "Hand me my inhaler!" was sent in by Nancy Mueller of Wichita. Troy Davis touched on another subject with, "Don’t worry, Santa. It’s just the grill smoke from the fatty, salty steak you ordered." Wichita’s Thomas Coats said, "We get hazard pay for this, right?" From Derby, Julie Dombo sent, "You’re going to have to throw in a long-term health care policy if we keep this up!" Wichita’s Karen Wallace submitted, "…While visions of carcinogens danced in their heads." Another good one from Bruce Cole: "Talk about secondhand gifts…" Then there was this slap at my friend and coworker from Fred Wolfe of Wichita: "Brent Castillo says to pass them by, Santa. They couldn’t be evangelical Christians because they smoke and drink and do you know what."

    Dress Right for Heaven?

    Three men died on Christmas Eve and were met by Saint Peter at the pearly gates. “In honor of this holy season” Saint Peter said,”You must each possess something that symbolizes Christmas to get into heaven.”

    The first man fumbled through his pockets and pulled out a lighter. He flicked it on. “It represents a candle”, he said. “You may pass through the pearly gates” Saint Peter said.

    The second man reached into his pocket and pulled out a set of keys. He shook them and said, “They’re bells.”Saint Peter said “You may pass through the pearly gates”.

    The third man started searching desperately through his pockets and finally pulled out a pair of women’s panties.

    St. Peter looked at the man with a raised eyebrow and asked, “And just what do those symbolize?”

    The man replied, “These are Carols.”

    …..badda - boom

    Should read “Well Santa, it is posted!”

    I suppose Cole’s caption was OK if you get off on lame poetry. Sometimes I wonder what Richard hasn’t been smoking when he makes his selections. …”It’s just the grill smoke from the fatty, salty steak you ordered.”…??????? Come On Richard!!!!!
