Try your hand at coming up with a winning caption!
Ahem…
When my daughter looked at the caption contest finalists she laughed and laughed at this one:

There were many, many submissions about poking knitting needles in eyes, in feet, down throats… but I love the way the violence is merely implied in Stacy’s caption, and implied so subtly. Well done!

Before I go on to list the honorable mentions, I’d like to explain how I choose a winner. At the end of the month I go through all the captions, checking off a dozen or so that I especially like. I wait a few hours (thanks to my rapid mood swings, something that wasn’t especially funny two hours ago might be hilarious now).
