Great Guido, the saintly Sage of Westminster, has always suffered, uncomplainingly, from the commenters on his blog. Every Friday, doggedly, bloggedly, Guido runs a caption contest, hoping to get a few laughs from the entries. And, every week, a hundred or more utterly unfunny comments appear from contributors who, apparently, wouldn't know a joke if it leapt up screaming 'I am a joke!' prior to biting them on the nose. Lately I have taken to submitting my own entries. I see myself in this role as the cavalry, adding tone to what might otherwise be little more than a vulgar brawl. This week my entry was so good, I have decided to steal Guido's pic. Any funny alternatives will be welcomed, but I am looking for quality, not quantity. Anyway, my caption is:
A blog about, among other things, imaginary ideas - What ifs? and Imagine thats. What if photographs looked nothing like what we see with our eyes? Imagine that the Berlin Wall had never come down. What if we were the punchline of an interminable joke? All contributions welcome.

ReplyDeleteBrilliant johntyh. Lol. That's the thing - to focus on what's in the pic.

ReplyDelete"So you'll definitely go through with this, David?"
ReplyDelete"Of course. In a few minutes Brown will come out of that pub, & cross the road at the pedestrian crossing. We tear up behind him, & I brandish my sword & cut off his head."
Alternatively....
"So you'll definitely go through with this, David?"
"Of course. It can't fail. When we break 80, the catalytic converter will kick in & we're back in post-war Britain. With the demise of Churchill, the Party's mine."

The Cherokees are chasing me
Arrows fly, right on by

ReplyDelete"If I can save but one young Hollywood starlet...or perhaps an American astronaut..."
'I have a vision for Britain. I see an exciting journey we will travel together, riding over the most winding of roads and the roughest of mountain tracks, through tempest and turbulance. Whatever the obstacles, we can be sure that the tyres on our bike will be up to the job. So grab your helmet and your leathers, and prepare for government'
ReplyDeleteBut Guido did publish this picture of G. Brown for one of the contests... worth 1,000 words, unfunny or not.

Johntyh's bent rod was a gift of the Rwandan people no doubt.
