Getting closer…
I cracked second place this time around on the caption contest. The first place submission really was funnier… but I didn’t even get an Honorable Mention for my A Few Good Men reference, which I thought was the best:

“We follow odors, son. We follow odors, or people die. It’s that simple. Are we clear?”
Part of comedy is figuring out who your audience is, and since I’m getting closer to that top position it seems fair to say that I’m starting to get an idea of what kinds of punchlines work.

I like that but, for me, it doesn’t quite work because the characters don’t match the statement. I think your place-getter was much better.
As John said previously, it’s all subjective and even he doesn’t always agree with the choice but it’s a democratic process - and all in good fun.
I got equal third this time. Yay! :)
