Making smart people smile since 1985
Barbara Hulse has written many funny captions in the past, and she has been a runner-up more than once. This, I believe is her first “win”! I love this caption because it almost doesn’t make sense yet at the same time it totally nails it. Congratulations, Barbara! Also a multiple-time runner-up, and a runner-up once again is Linda Poindexter. (I … Read More

How many of you remember this wonderful image? Ivy Magner won our contest with her “prison tats” caption way back in 2011! (oh gee… has this contest been going on that long?) I know I’ve seen her name among the finalists since then, but I believe this is her first win since 2011. Congratulations, Ivy! I love this not only … Read More

Mary Hanney’s winning caption is both hilarious and chill-inducing… for me, at least. My only daughter went to college early, and I thought 16 was way too early to lose her (and her cooking). I can’t imagine sending a child away at 10 without shuddering! As occasionally happens (because I don’t look at the authors’ names until after I’ve chosen … Read More

Look at this smile!Now look at this smile! Every time I saw Barbara “Babs” McCraine she had the same beautiful smile on her face. Barbara is one of those rare souls whose inward beauty more than matches her outward beauty. It’s hard for me to say “was” even though this amazing woman left our plane of existence a few days … Read More
The piano image was really fun, but really, really tough. I should know, because I’ve been trying to come up with a caption for it for months! So special thanks to our April winner – Cora Enfield – for her wonderful caption! Thank you also to our runners-up, Charmaine Piacentino and Emily Short Great work, ladies!

First, let me say that most months I’m sort of secretly rooting for one or another caption to be the winner. Not this month. One minute Shan Barnett’s caption would be my favorite, the next minute Manya Perkins’ caption would be, and then a minute later I’d be totally in love with Susie Murphy’s caption. I am SO glad I … Read More
