CARTOON CAPTION/ANTI-CAPTION CONTESTS CONTINUE!

Cool news! Alaska is now in the Caption Contest pantheon thanks to the Caption Contest 110 (crash-test dummy in hospital) winner:

"I hear he's got one-hundred-per-cent coverage—parts and labor."
Barbra Holian (Juneau, AK)

Heartfelt congratulations to the northwesternest winner thus far!


In Caption Contest 112 (cavemen inspecting huge gun), the nominees are

"So this is what killed the dinosaurs."
Patricia Carrington (Bethesda, MD)

"What did you say happened to the last tenant?"
Kees Beemster Leverenz (Seattle, WA)

"We're gonna need a bigger spear."
Peter Lorber (Thousand Oaks, CA)

My loser was very close to the one from California:

"Do they make spears in this caliber?"

In Anti-Caption Contest 113 (gun-toting cleaning woman about to break into guestroom), the winner is

"Sir or ma'am! You have violated one of the rules of our hotel! And I am overreacting in an improbable and deliciously comic way!"
My Man Godfrey

My losers:

Scene from The Brave One, Part IV

"They've left me with feces-stained sheets three days in a row. I don't
take that kind of shit from nobody!"

Caption Contest 114 is here. Anti-Caption Contest 114 is here.
